Symptoms of HPV58 infection in men

summary

Now we will not feel unfamiliar with the word HPV, because the attention and publicity for HPV are very strong. But many people think that HPV is a disease that only women can suffer from, and it has nothing to do with men. This is wrong. In fact, everyone has HPV, but women suffer deeply. This does not mean that men will not be infected, so men should also pay attention to it. I would like to share with you my views on the symptoms of HPV58 infection in men.

Symptoms of HPV58 infection in men

When it comes to HPV, its full name is human papillomavirus. HPV can be divided into high risk type and low risk type according to its harmfulness. The common subtypes of high risk type were 16, 18, 31, 33, 39, 45, 52, 56, 58, 66, 68, etc. There are few symptoms after high-risk infection, but if long-term persistent infection can infect your sexual partner, that is, you carry the virus to infect your partner, so that her cervix is infected with high-risk HPV virus, then women's cervix long-term persistent infection with high-risk HPV virus, there is the possibility of carcinogenesis, that is, cervical cancer. Of course, there are also cases of penile cancer in men. This is the danger of high-risk infection. To sum up, although there will be no special symptoms, but great harm.

2. Let's talk about the low-risk type. The common subtypes of low-risk type are 6, 11, 43, 81, etc. So the most common symptom of low-risk infection is verruca. Clinically, this disease is called condyloma acuminatum. Because it is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, it is defined as venereal disease. This venereal disease is the only one that does not enter the blood and only infects the epidermis of the human body. Both men and women can be infected. The difference between men and women is that women's immunity is generally lower than men's. Therefore, the side with low immunity will grow warts first. So from HPV infection to wart growth, need a incubation period, generally 3 weeks - 8 months. For example, women with low immunity may grow warts in three months, while men with high immunity may get sick in five months or even longer. Of course, if the immunity is very high, may also have been carrying the virus, and do not grow warts, that is, no symptoms, this situation also has.

3. Similar to women, men also get HPV infection through intimate skin and mucous membrane contact, mainly through sexual behavior (vagina or anus). Simple contact in daily life, such as shaking hands, is not infectious. Low risk HPV causes genital condyloma acuminatum, usually around the anus, penis, scrotum, groin or thigh. Condyloma acuminatum can be cured. High risk HPV infection in men may cause penile or anal cancer (more common in gay, bisexual or HIV positive men), but it is very rare.

matters needing attention

Male HPV infection itself is not a disease, and most of the infection can be cleared by the human body's own immunity, generally will not cause any symptoms, and will not affect health. Even if men are infected with HPV, because of the particularity of physiological structure, they can basically eliminate the virus through their own immunity, and rarely have cancer. In short, HPV rarely causes serious health problems for men, especially those with very good immunity.
