क्या पुरुषों को एचपीवी हो सकता है?

Swara

मुझे कुछ चीज़ों को लेकर सच में कन्फ्यूजन हो रही है। पिछले कुछ महीनों से मैंने HPV के बारे में ज्यादा सुना है और ये कैसे लोगों को प्रभावित करता है। लेकिन, क्या पुरुष भी HPV से प्रभावित हो सकते हैं? मैंने हमेशा सोचा था कि ये सिर्फ महिलाओं को ही प्रभावित करता है, समझ रहे हो? मेरे एक दोस्त ने, जो मेरे साथ काम करता है और लड़का है, बताया कि उसने कुछ अजीब लक्षणों की वजह से टेस्ट करवाया, और इससे मुझे सोचने पर मजबूर कर दिया। मतलब, वो कौन से लक्षण हैं जो पुरुषों में हो सकते हैं? वो ज्यादा चिंतित नहीं लग रहा था, लेकिन अब मैं उन बातचीतों के बारे में सोच रही हूँ जो हमने STI प्रिवेंशन के बारे में की थी और कैसे लड़के भी उतने ही वल्नरेबल हो सकते हैं। और फिर मैंने ऑनलाइन पढ़ा कि बहुत से पुरुष वास्तव में HPV कैरी करते हैं लेकिन अक्सर उन्हें इसका पता नहीं होता! ये बहुत कन्फ्यूजिंग है। क्या पुरुष HPV से प्रभावित हो सकते हैं भले ही उनमें लक्षण न दिखें? मतलब, क्या लड़कों के लिए कोई टेस्ट है, या ये कुछ ऐसा है जिसके बारे में हम पर्याप्त बात नहीं कर रहे हैं? मैं बस सब कुछ समझने की कोशिश कर रही हूँ, जैसे क्या पुरुषों को भी महिलाओं की तरह रेगुलर स्क्रीनिंग या वैक्सीन के बारे में जागरूक होना चाहिए? मुझे लगता है कि बहुत सारी जानकारी इधर-उधर है लेकिन कोई साफ तस्वीर नहीं है, समझ रहे हो?

Yes, men can absolutely get HPV. It’s a misconception that HPV is only a concern for women. HPV, or human papillomavirus, is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections affecting people of any gender. Men can be carriers of the virus and may not show symptoms, so they might unknowingly spread it to their partners. It’s interesting because a lot of men who contract HPV don’t develop any noticeable signs, which often leads to underdiagnosis or misunderstanding of its prevalence. Now, while most HPV infections clear up on their own without causing any issues, some types can lead to genital warts or even increase the risk for cancers, like penile, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers. With this in mind, men should indeed be aware of HPV, not just for their own health but also to protect their partners.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a routine HPV test available for men like there is for women with cervical screenings. However, the focus often shifts towards monitoring for symptoms like warts or changes that might require further medical evaluation. It’s crucial for sexually active men to discuss HPV vaccination with their healthcare providers, as the vaccine can protect against the strains most likely to cause cancers and genital warts. The vaccine is particularly impactful if administered before exposure to the virus, generally advised for preteens but also recommended up to age 26 for those who didn’t get it when they were younger.

Prevention is key. Practicing safe sex, using condoms, and having regular health check-ups are also smart moves. It’s definitely something that should be talked about more, among both men and women, to raise awareness and understanding on how HPV affects everybody, and that being proactive can help reduce health risks long-term.
