The Cervical cancer injection does not go in the cervix! It is typically given in the muscle of the upper arm, as with other immunizations.

What are the first uterine cancer symptoms?
Cervical cancer usually develops slowly over time, which means that before cancer appears in the cervix, the cells of the cervix go through changes known as dysplasia (precancerous changes). During dysplasia, cells that are not normal begin to appear in the cervical tissue. Later, cancer cells start to grow and spread more deeply into the cervix and to surrounding areas.
Where does the cervical cancer injection go into your body?
it goes it the top of your arm. sort of near just under your shouder.
Is Hysterectomy good for Cervical Cancer?
Yes. Cervical cancer is often caused by the HPV virus that is sexually transmitted and by removing the cervix the cancer/virus is also removed if it hasn't spread beyond that point. In the US 600,000 women a year go through a hysterectomy. Some only have the cervix removed while other also have a complete hysterectomy with the ovaries as well.
Can a women who got cancer from hpv but had it operated on and is in remission still get pregnant?
If you had cancer due to HPV, you had part or all of your cervix removed. Pregnancy is not possible if all of the cervix was removed. If you did not go to the hospital and have this major surgery under general anesthesia, you did not have cervical cancer; instead, you may have had cervical dysplasia treated with a LEEP. Contact your health care provider to get a clearer picture of your diagnosis and its affect on future fertility.
Where in the female reproductive system does a pap smear go?
A pap smear is normally used to check for cervical cancer or precancerous changes on the cervix. A sample of cells is taken from the uterine cervix, the end of the uterus, that protrudes into the vagina.
Do one have to go for a smear after a hysterectomy?
Unless your cervix was removed at the time of your hysterectomy then YES as the purpose of the smear is to find cancerous cervical cells before cancer sets in.
Can you get cervical cancer from open wounds on fingers?
Im sorry to say, yes actually you can. All these bacteria in the open wound mixes with all the others, plus in the cervix will create an infection. Thus you may get cancer but hands down you will have a cervical cancer. I reccomend you go get it checked up right away. Good luck!
Can cervical cancer go away?
Yes,if the detection is early.
Are there any websites that can help me find signs of cervical cancer?
There are many websites that will help you find out about the signs of cervical cancer. Go to web.md, medicinenet.com, mayoclinic.com and caring4cancer.com.
What are some treatments for cervical cancer available today?
There are several ways that someone can treat cervical cancer but they may not be as effective as most might think since cervical cancer is very strong. Chemotherapy is one option, or having surgery is another option that most woman go for since the cancer would be fully removed.
Can a ovarian cyst cause bleeding when pregnant?
tough one... Atypical cells on the cervix wont hurt the fetus, however if you've had treatment already for cervical cancer that involved surgery...yes it can cause miscarriage. A cone resection (the surgery) takes part of your cervix out, you lose the part of your body which keeps the baby in. this isn't a definite for miscarriage, you may be able to have your doctor go in and reinforce the opening (called a cerclage). Another thing to think of is that cervical cancer needs to be treated, and quickly. your treatment options may interfere with keeping your baby
Can HPV cause cancer and how is it detected?
HPV is linked to the majority of cases of cervical cancer. Fortunately most who have HPV will never get cervical cancer. It is important to understand that HPV is a very common sexually transmitted disease, and many women who have HPV will show no symptoms or have no atypical pap test. HPV is a virus that effects superficial (surface) cells of the cervix. Most infections only disturb the outer most layers of the cervix, and go away on their own over time. It is important to have HPV tests administered by a qualified clinician to determine if there is an HPV infection and what type of HPV infection there is. Certain types of HPV (16 and 18 to name a couple) are known to be more aggressive and attack the cells deeper in the cervix. When these cells are effected, a more worrysome process can happen. This more risky HPV can lead to what is called a "High Grade Squamous Intraepethilial Lesion" on a Pap test. When this happens, it is important that a biopsy be done to determine how much of the cervix has been infected, and to have the infected cells removed. As long as a patient receives appropriate Pap tests and HPV tests, the chances of getting cervical cancer are very small. (Even with a high risk HPV, appropriate clinical care can greatly reduce the risk of future cervical cancer) The main reasons a woman gets cervical cancer is not receiving appropriate Pap tests or HPV tests, or a false negative reading from the laboratory.
