• Immune Suppression: Conditions or medications that weaken the immune system, such as HIV/AIDS or immunosuppressive drugs, can increase susceptibility to HPV infection and cervical cancer.

Treatment: Dr. Deepak Bose offers comprehensive cervical cancer prevention and management strategies, including:

• Colposcopy: A diagnostic procedure that allows for detailed examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva using a colposcope. This helps identify abnormal areas that may require further investigation or treatment.
• Cervical Screening (Pap Smear): Regular Pap smears are performed to detect precancerous changes in cervical cells early, allowing for timely intervention to prevent the development of cervical cancer.
• HPV Vaccination: Vaccination against HPV is recommended for both males and females to prevent infection with high-risk HPV strains. Vaccination is most effective when administered before sexual debut and can significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers.

Recovery and Care: Following colposcopy or cervical screening, patients may experience mild discomfort or spotting, which typically resolves within a few days. HPV vaccination involves a series of injections over several months, with minimal side effects such as pain or swelling at the injection site. Dr. Bose ensures that patients receive appropriate counseling and support throughout the screening and vaccination process.

Outcome: Colposcopy, cervical screening, and HPV vaccination are vital tools in the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. By identifying precancerous changes and preventing HPV infection, these interventions help reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and improve overall health outcomes. Dr. Deepak Bose’s expertise in cervical cancer prevention ensures that patients receive personalized care and guidance, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
