Estrogen has numerous biologic effects, many of which involve interactions with other
hormones. Estrogen is needed for the maturation of the reproductive organs, development of
secondary sex characteristics (differentiating male and female physical characteristics that are
not directly related to reproduction), closure of long bones after the pubertal growth spurt,
regulation of the menstrual cycle, and endometrial regeneration after menstruation.

Two HPV vaccines are currently approved in the United States: (1) quadrivalent HPV

99.7% of cervical cancer cases, 40% of penile cancers, and an estimated 5% of all cancers
worldwide. The vaccine is administered by intramuscular injection, and the recommended
schedule is a three-dose series with the second and third doses administered 2 and 6 months
after the first dose. The recommended age for vaccination of girls is 11 to 12 years. The
vaccine can be administered to girls as young as 9 years of age. The quadrivalent vaccine has
been approved for males 9 to 26 years of age to prevent genital warts.
