Genital wart growth: If a male is infected with low-risk HPV, most likely there will be wart growth on the genital organs, where you can see rice-sized warts, or even larger ones, showing cauliflower-like appearance.
No obvious symptoms: If a male is infected with or carries high-risk HPV, there may not be any manifestations, making it difficult to detect. However, this situation can still lead to partner infection through sexual contact.
Medical examination: For males without obvious symptoms or signs, if there is a history of unclean sexual contact, cytology can be performed at the penile corona and urethral meatus to check for exfoliated cells. Modern medicine has developed various detection methods such as gene testing, serum testing, urine testing, etc., which can improve the accuracy of infection detection.
It is important to note that HPV is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, but can also be transmitted through indirect contact, such as sharing toilets or bathing in public baths. If a partner tests positive for HPV, males should also actively seek testing. At the same time, getting vaccinated against HPV is an effective way to prevent HPV infection.
