Read more about the Gardasil® HPV Vaccination

South Denver Obstetrics & Gynecology also offers the Gardasil® HPV Vaccination for teens to protect against the HPV virus which can result in cervical cancer and genital warts.  Initiating the Gardasil vaccine series is a great way to begin the discussion of women’s health with young girls.  Birth control consults for family planning needs or menstrual cycle regulation can also be discussed during a consult for adolescent health.  The foundation of these discussions with teens is making informed choices and having respect for their bodies — our staff are very comfortable discussing these issues with teens.
