Human papillomavirus (HPV) is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, but it can also be transmitted through other vectors. There was a man whose voice had been hoarse for a long time, but it didn’t improve even following seeing a doctor. It wasn’t until he had vocal cord surgery that it temporarily improved. Unexpectedly, he was infected with the HPV virus.
Pediatrician Chen Xinhong shared a case on his Facebook page. A male friend had a hoarse voice for a long time. He went to the otolaryngology department many times, but it never got better. Later, he underwent vocal cord surgery and it temporarily improved. During the surgery, he was tested at the same time, and he was accidentally found to be infected with HPV. Viral infection. What was puzzling was that his friend, who usually kept himself clean and had no involvement in any inappropriate places, had a vocal cord infection, which he mightn’t believe.
Chen Xinhong reminded that if you use public swimming pools, public bathhouses, saunas, public toilets, etc., you may be infected with the HPV virus. HPV is a major cause of cervical cancer in women and one of the main causes of head and neck cancer in men. , therefore, it is very important to call on men to get the HPV vaccine, which can prevent HPV infection, hoarseness, head and neck cancer, cervical cancer, and sexually transmitted infections.
It is understood that both men and women can be infected with HPV. In addition to sexual contact, they can also be infected through contact with skin wounds, mucous membranes or body fluids. Even if they are a single sex partner, or even if they have not had sex for a long time, there is a risk of infection. Sometimes it invades the human body and causes warts and even cancer, but most of the time there are no clinical symptoms. Vaccination is the most effective way to obtain protection.
