What happens when men are infected with HPV? Male infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) may have the following consequences:
Genital warts: The most common symptom of HPV infection is genital warts, which typically appear around the male genital area, including the **, scrotum, **, and other areas. After a man is infected with HPV, small, soft, lighter-colored wart-like growths may appear around the genitals or near the **, known as genital warts. This viral infection usually does not have long-term effects on health, but the warts may cause discomfort and itching.
Precancerous lesions: Certain high-risk HPV infections can lead to precancerous lesions in the male genital area, including ** precancerous lesions and ** precancerous lesions.
Genital cancers: Certain high-risk HPV infections increase the risk of men developing genital cancers, including ** cancer, ** cancer, and oropharyngeal cancer.
Transmission to partners: Once a man is infected with HPV, he can transmit it to partners through sexual activity, including women. After women are infected with HPV, they may develop cervical cancer or other genital cancers.
Other diseases: HPV infection may also lead to other diseases, such as genital warts, ** warts, oral warts, genital itching, pain, urethritis, and more.
Therefore, men should pay attention to their sexual health, undergo regular sexually transmitted infection screenings, and receive the HPV vaccine to prevent HPV infection and related diseases. Additionally, avoiding sexual relations with multiple partners and using condoms can also lower the risk of infection. Men should take the risk of HPV infection seriously and implement preventive measures such as using condoms, getting the HPV vaccine, and having regular check-ups to reduce the risk of infection. If any symptoms arise, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and receive professional diagnosis and treatment.
