How is male high-risk HPV infection treated

summary

HPV test is generally aimed at women, but it is not entirely female. Men sometimes need to do HPV test, so do we all know about male HPV test? What about male HPV test? Does male HPV infection have a great impact on male health? Let's solve it with me!

How is male high-risk HPV infection treated

First, there is no large-scale study on the infection of HPV in men. Some literatures show that the positive rate of HPV in women is only 16% among their spouses. This is because, first of all, HPV is more suitable to exist in a humid environment, while the male genitals are not as humid as the female genitals, which is not suitable for HPV growth. Therefore, even if there is HPV infection, the amount of virus is relatively small;

Second: because it is difficult to take samples around the male genitals, such as the coronal sulcus and urethral orifice, only a small number of samples can be taken. If the measurement method is not sensitive enough, the virus may not be detected. But clinical often see male perianal, penis condyloma. For men with multiple sexual partners, their spouses are infected with HPV at the same time or successively, which indicates that men may be carriers of HPV, and HPV infection is relatively common among men.

Third, it is difficult to collect samples from male genital tract to detect HPV. Because the male genitalia around relatively dry, less sampling, easy to miss diagnosis. Therefore, the positive rate of HPV detection in men is relatively low. But if there are conditions, HPV infection of female spouses should be tested for HPV. However, the detection of HPV infection in men is not common. In fact, men should also do HPV testing, so as to better treat women's HPV infection positive situation, not only that, we also need to understand the specific situation of HPV infection, so as to help women better treat HPV infection.

matters needing attention

If one of the husband and wife is infected with HPV, they should do the following: do not have dangerous sex; use tools in the same room to avoid or reduce cross infection; make proper diagnosis and treatment for the infected; exercise to improve the body's immune ability.
