Cancer HPV? My former friend might have this type of cancer then. I was told it can cause cervical cancer, what are the implications for men? (He is worried he will not do 30 years. Thanks for the info!
The most dangerous HPV, 16 and 18, which are transmitted by sexual contact are known to cause up to 95% of cancers of the cervix. There are risk factors, what makes a woman more susceptible to HPV and, in turn, more susceptible to cervical cancer. These include:
* Having your first sexual intercourse at a young age
* Having multiple sexual partners (or having sex with men who have had multiple partners)
* HIV infection
* Smoking
* The history of other sexually transmitted infections symptoms:
* Red, pink, white or warts that look like growths, bumps, or cauliflower small
Diagnosis:
* It is generally accepted to genital warts by looking
* Biopsy
Treatment:
* Since HPV is a virus, there is no cure for it, but it can be treated by the removal of the wart
* Some treatments must be performed in the doctor's office:
- Treatment with trichloroacetic acid - a chemical is applied to the surface of the wart on a weekly basis
- Cryotherapy - freezing the wart off with liquid nitrogen
- Electrocautery - burning the wart with an electric current
- Radiosurgery -
- Laser therapy - using an intense light to destroy the wart
- Excision - cutting the wart
* Some treatments can be done at home with nonprescription creams (they must not be used by pregnant women)
* The warts can reappear after successful treatment
It can cause cancer of the penis, but there are more than 100 strains of this virus, and only a few cause cancer. Some cause no problems, others can cause warts. There is probably a kind of test, you may get to see if a carrier.
A small number of strains of genital HPV are linked to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus and penis. But the strains of HPV that cause genital warts do not appear to be directly associated with strains that cause cancer. However, since the person can acquire multiple strains of HPV, medical providers consider all cases of genital warts to a warning of potentially cancerous conditions.

HPV stands for human papilloma virus. This is a very common sexually transmitted virus, a small fraction of men and women against HPV will develop genital warts. Another small fraction of women against HPV will develop cervical changes. Most people do not change.
HPV is transmitted sexually through intimate genital to genital contact, including vaginal or anal or rarely through oral sex. Transmission can also occur when the skin genital contact with the skin of the genitals without sexual intercourseSince HPV is a virus, there is no cure. However, new studies indicate that approximately 70-90% of people with HPV can eliminate the virus from the body within two years of infection. Re-infection is possible.
Infection with genital warts in men occurs more often on the penis and the pubis, but it may also involve the urethra or bladder. Infection of the urethra can cause bleeding, shock, and the need to urinate frequently. Genital warts can also develop on or near the anus or rectum. Infection often occurs in more than one genital area at a time.
men and women, so that the risk of neoplasia in these areas among young adults is so low that it should not be of immediate concern .. In the case of high-grade lesions, the progression to cervical cancer is more likely, with 30-50% if progressing.
