What are the symptoms of HPV in men?

HPV virus infection is a contagious disease. Unlike other subacute diseases, this disease will not develop violently in an instant. On the contrary, because the HPV virus has a long risk period, its symptoms usually appear gradually, and the main manifestations are not so obvious.

When men are infected with low-risk HPV, their immune system is relatively weak and warts, also known as condyloma acuminatum, will develop.

HPV infection in men is divided into two stages

First, when doing an HPV test, if the virus infection is positive, but the papules grow out completely and no progeny are found, we call it simple HPV infection without symptoms.

The second is the location where the warts grow. The warts that appear on the male reproductive organs are called condyloma acuminatum. Warts may grow on the penis, mons pubis, glans penis, urethral opening, around the anus and even inside the anus. They are wart-like and cauliflower-like. They are generally painless and itchy.

Condyloma acuminatum is generally small in size and difficult to detect with the naked eye. The skin where the condyloma acuminatum is located is more moist than the skin in other parts of the body. However, if the condyloma acuminatum is damaged too much, it may evolve into a very large condyloma acuminatum. Generally, this type of change is benign, but there are very few cases where it is malignant. Patients may experience itching, discomfort, discomfort or burning sensations. In addition, the skin often bleeds or develops secondary infections due to the skin becoming more and more sensitive.

Condyloma acuminatum caused by HPV infection is already a very common genital tract infection. Only by following the typical symptoms of HPV infection and regular HPV testing can we accurately diagnose and treat it with medication.
