    When it comes to HPV (human papillomavirus), many people think that it is a virus that always "patronizes" women. In fact, although HPV is more likely to "prefer girls over boys," men are also often "patronized" by the HPV virus. So, what are the symptoms of HPV infection in boys? Let’s briefly understand and understand this issue. I hope that the following points will be helpful to everyone!

    Although attention to HPV has continued to grow in recent years, keywords such as "HPV screening" and "HPV vaccine" continue to come into everyone's attention. However, scientific data on HPV and men’s health are relatively scarce, and the industry’s attention to the impact of HPV on men’s health is also lacking.

    In fact, men can also be infected with the HPV virus. However, most men may not become ill or have obvious symptoms after being infected, and it is very easy to transmit the virus to their partner without knowing it.

    Men infected with HPV can easily cause genital warts, laryngopharyngeal cancer, anal cancer and other symptoms. In daily life, it is not easy to detect genital warts. Once discovered, the best opportunity for treatment has been missed and treatment has been delayed. So how do you detect genital warts? How do you know if you have genital warts? How long is the risk period for genital warts?

    First, if a male friend suffers from genital warts, the genital warts may damage the patient's urethral opening. In daily life, the patient may find that his urethral opening feels unsuitable, and he or she may experience overflowing urine, gross hematuria, fluid removal from the urethral opening, a feeling of obstruction in the urethral opening, or difficulty urinating or having difficulty urinating. This condition is more common in men than in women.

    Secondly, in daily life, if a male friend gets genital warts, the damage occurs in the mouth or throat, which may cause the patient to have difficulty eating, swallowing, and hoarse throat. In severe cases, the risk of genital warts may block the bronchus and cause suffocation and death, especially in infants with genital warts. It is an early symptom of common genital warts.

    Third, most patients with genital warts have no symptoms in the early stages. During the development process of genital warts, most patients have no discomfort, such as itching, pain and other active symptoms. Only a few patients may experience slight itching and tingling.
