Default HPV Cancer? - 07-12-2008, 03:33 PM

My friend's ex might have this type of cancer then. I've been told it can cause cervical cancer; what are the affects in men? (He is worried that he won't make it to 30. Thanks for the info!

It can cause penile cancer, but there are over 100 strains of this virus, and only a few cause cancer. Some cause no problems, others cause warts. There is probably some sort of test he can get to see if he's a carrier.

A small number of genital HPV strains are linked to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus, and penis. But the strains of HPV that cause genital warts do not seem to be directly associated with the strains that cause cancer. However, since a person can acquire multiple strains of HPV, medical providers consider any case of genital warts to be 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 with HPV will develop genital warts. Another small fraction of women with HPV will develop cervical changes. Most people will have no changes.
HPV is transmitted sexually through intimate genital to genital contact, including vaginal or anal intercourse or only rarely through oral sex. Transmission can also occur during genital skin to genital skin contact without sexual intercourse Since HPV is a virus, there is no cure. However, new studies indicate that approximately 70-90% of people with HPV may clear the virus from the body within two years of infection. Re-infection is possible.
Genital wart infection in men most commonly occurs on the penis and on the pubic area, but it may also involve the urethra or bladder. Infection of the urethra may cause bleeding, a discharge, and the need to urinate frequently. Genital warts can also develop on or near the anus, or within the rectum. Infection often occurs in more than one genital area at a time.
both men and women, so the risk of NepalisIAn these areas in 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% progressing if not treated. There is a question whether low grade lesions should be left untreated, and instead be observed closely for a period of time with Pap smears, and possibly additionally colposcopies. There is no clear, definite answer to this question. Some reasons for following low grade lesions with careful observation instead of immediate treatment of the cervix are:

1) Treatment would be unnecessary in those cases where lesions heal themselves spontaneously.
he will make it tell him its not that deadly..unless its not treated...

The most dangerous HPV's, 16 and 18, which are transmitted through sexual contact are known to cause up to 95% of cervical cancer. There are risk factors, which make a woman more susceptible to HPV and, in turn, more susceptible to cervical cancer. These include:

* having her first sexual encounters at a young age
* having many sexual partners (or having sex with men who have had many partners)
* HIV infection
* smoking
* history of other sexually transmitted infections Symptoms:

* Red, pinkish, or white warts that look like growths, bumps, or small cauliflowers

Diagnosis:

*can usually identify genital warts by looking at them
*biopsy

Treatment:

* Since HPV is a virus, there is no cure for it, but it can be treated by removing the wart
* Some treatments must be done in the doctor?s office:
- trichloracetic acid treatment ? a chemical is applied to the surface of the wart on a weekly basis
- Cryotherapy ? freezing off the wart with liquid nitrogen
- Electrocautery ? burning off the wart with an electrical current
- Radiosurgery--
- Laser therapy ? using an intense light to destroy the wart
- Excision ? cutting the wart out
* Some treatments can be done at home with prescription creams (these should not be used by pregnant women)
* Warts can reappear after successful treatment
