    Whether high-risk HPV infection in men requires treatment depends on whether there are obvious pathological abnormalities in the skin and mucous membranes.

    1. No treatment required

    High-risk HPV infection in men is usually the abbreviation of human papillomavirus infection. Most of it is transmitted through unclean sexual life. After infection, if there is no abnormality in the skin and no discomfort in the body, but it is positive during the examination, the changes in the body should be closely observed. If the body is in good physical condition, HPV may turn negative in about two months, so regular re-examination is required.

    2. Need treatment

    If men with high-risk HPV infection develop papules, cauliflower-like, or granular hyperplasia on the skin and mucous membranes, it may be genital warts. They need to be treated with antiviral drugs in a timely manner under the guidance of a doctor, such as acyclovir tablets, valacyclovir hydrochloride tablets, transfer factor capsules, etc. In severe cases, you should go to the hospital to remove the warts with electric cautery.
