HPV is the abbreviation for human papillomavirus infection. If a male friend is infected with the HPV virus, the specific manifestations are cauliflower-shaped, papillary or peak-shaped growths on the male genitals, foreskin, glans penis, vulva, and anus. An acetic acid whitening test is performed on it during the examination. If it turns gray-white under the action of acetic acid, it can be diagnosed as genital warts. Clinically, laboratory tests can be performed, that is, using a brush to remove cells and testing their DNA, which can detect the virus infection of human papilloma.
If some warts develop, the warts can be removed, and then pathological sections can be taken. Pathological examination can be carried out in the laboratory to diagnose HPV infection. However, the current blood test for HPV antigens only proves that the patient has HPV infection, but it does not mean that he or she has genital warts, because in addition to infecting organs, HPV can also infect the face, causing flat warts, and infect the fingers, causing common warts.
It is recommended that men go to the hospital to check HPV antigen. If () indicates that the patient is infected. Patients generally do not get sick if they are infected with HPV, but they can infect women through sexual intercourse. Because of women's unique physiological structure and relatively moist private parts, they are very susceptible to infection. After infection, they may manifest as genital warts. If a woman's genital warts can be treated with laser, it is recommended that both parties treat the HPV infection mutually. Boys can use interferon suppositories, and women can use interferon suppositories and Baofukang suppositories.
HPV is a human papillomavirus infection, which can cause a variety of papillomas or warts on the skin and mucous membranes. Men infected with HPV can be tested according to the following methods: 1. You can test through the acetic acid whitening test, apply acetic acid on the area, and the area will turn white after 2-5 minutes, which generally confirms the HPV infection. 2. Puncture biopsy. Taking part of the tissue for puncture biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. 3. Carry out HPV testing, use a soft brush or cotton ball to remove some of the fallen cells, and determine whether there is HPV virus through genetic mixing, and can determine whether it is a high-risk or low-risk HPV virus. It should be noted that patients should avoid sexual intercourse and sitz baths within 24 hours before taking an HPV test.
