Does numbing cream help stop hpv jab from hurting?

Numbing cream can help to reduce the pain of the HPV jab, but it is not always effective. Some people may still experience pain even after using numbing cream.

If you are concerned about the pain of the HPV jab, you can talk to your doctor about other ways to reduce pain, such as ice packs or pain medication.

Here are some tips for reducing pain from the HPV jab:

- Apply a cold compress to the injection site for 10-15 minutes before and after the injection.

- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen before the injection.

- Relax your arm and try to stay calm during the injection.

- If you experience any severe pain or swelling, contact your doctor immediately.

The HPV jab is a very important vaccine that can help to protect you from cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancer. The pain from the jab is usually mild and temporary, and it is well worth the protection that the vaccine provides.
