Can men get HPV?

The first thing that is certain is that men can also be infected with the HPV virus. There are many types of HPV viruses, some are milder and superficial, and some are high-risk. What we usually talk about are generally high-risk. Today, let’s learn some basic professional knowledge about the HPV virus.

1. First: HPV is a spherical DNA virus that can cause proliferation of the squamous epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes of the body. At present, more than 130 different types have been isolated, and different types cause different clinical symptoms: skin low-risk type: skin high-risk type: mucous membrane low-risk type and mucous membrane high-risk type.

2. Second: The key transmission methods are: sexual transmission; close contact; indirect contact: by touching the infected person's clothes, daily necessities, supplies, etc.; nosocomial infection: medical staff do not provide good safety protection during medical treatment, resulting in their own infection or transmission to patients through medical staff; mother-to-child transmission: by the baby through close contact with the obstetrics of pregnant women.

3. Third: The infection rate of skin-type HPV is very widespread, such as common warts, toe warts, flat warts, etc., which are more noticeable are genital warts and cervical cancer caused by high-risk HPV infection and low-risk HPV infection of the genitals.

Frequently Asked Questions:

If men are not careful, they will still be infected, and will continue to cause cross-infection, causing great harm to the couple and the family, so they should cultivate a good lifestyle and lofty moral sentiments in their daily lives.

What are the main manifestations of harm when men are infected with the HPV virus?

There are two types of keys: one is high-risk infection, and the other is low-risk infection.

1. Low-risk infection. The main genital warts will appear, which are the common condyloma acuminatum, caused by HPV types 6 and 11, with symptoms such as itching, and if you do not wear a condom, there is a high probability of infecting people who have sex with you.

2. Infection with high-risk types, such as HPV16 and HPV18. Although men are less likely to develop cervical cancer, there is a certain chance of developing anal cancer and oral cancer.

Therefore, for the sake of love and cancer prevention, men should also do HPV testing regularly and pay attention to whether they have warts.

For men who have already been infected with the HPV virus, whether they are high-risk or low-risk, they should take it very seriously.

Usually pay attention to improving your body's immunity, because there is currently no medicine to treat this HPV virus, and only the body's own cellular immunity can deal with it.

Therefore, after men are infected with HPV virus, especially men with condyloma acuminatum, they should pay attention to strengthening exercise, eating better, and going to bed early. This lifestyle can greatly enhance immunity and accelerate the elimination of HPV virus.

If you want to be more purposeful in your care, you can professionally enhance your immunity. Nowadays, there is a gentle way to improve immunity, which is to supplement nutrients that enhance immunity.

This is because diet therapy is a common method, and what can enhance immunity are the special substances in food, such as selenium, vitamin E, carotene, vitamin D, etc.

This substance can now be extracted from food using extraction technology, and is commonly found in nutritional supplements such as malt selenium and vitamin E powder.

This method will be more targeted. After effectively taking in nutrients according to the body's needs, it can activate the lipoic acid lactate dehydrogenase in the human body, thereby increasing the specificity of cellular immunity and enhancing the destructive power of immune cells against HPV viruses. It also has the effect of promoting the production of human immunoglobulins. After increasing the destructive power of cellular immunity against HPV and increasing the amount of cellular immunity, it can effectively accelerate the whole process of human immunity to eliminate HPV viruses.
