    HPV infection is a contagious disease. This type of disease is different from other acute diseases and does not occur suddenly. On the contrary, due to the long risk period of HPV virus, its symptoms usually appear gradually and the symptoms are not so obvious.

    After men are infected with HPV, if they are infected with low-risk HPV and their resistance is relatively weak, they will develop warts, also called genital warts.

    HPV infection in men has two stages

    First, when the HPV test is performed and the virus is found to be positive, but a blank growth is found and no growth is found, we call it a case of simple HPV virus without symptoms.

    The second is the stage of wart growth. Warts that appear on the male reproductive organs are called condyloma acuminata. Warts may appear on a man’s penis, mons pubis, glans penis, urethral opening, around the anus and even in the anus. Wart-like things and cauliflower-like growths are generally painless and not itchy.

    Genital warts are generally small in size and difficult to detect with the human eye, and the skin where genital warts occur is moister than the skin in other locations. However, if genital warts are damaged too much, they may evolve into very large genital warts. Generally, this kind of disease is benign, but there are also a few cases where it is malignant. Patients may experience itching, discomfort, discomfort, or burning sensations. In addition, skin bleeding or secondary infection often occurs as the skin becomes increasingly sensitive.

    Genital warts caused by HPV virus infection are already a very common genital tract infection. Only based on the typical symptoms of HPV infection and regular HPV testing can we accurately identify and treat with medication.
