Genital warts or HPV (human pappiloma virus) is directly linked to Cervical Cancer. It can kill you if you are a woman and there is some evidence to suggest that there may be male issues as well.
There is also a tenuous link between warts and PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) in women. As well as Chlamydia Big issues for women-not so big for men-although they can spread it . |

You can't really treat them, other than treating them like normal warts. I think something like 70% of people have HPV of some sort.
As far as I know there has been no study that has directly linked HPV to problems for men, other than the warts of course. The vaccine has been approved for women but not men yet (last time I checked). If you have HPV tell your partner she has to get the vaccine. |

The same scientist who discovered the link of HPV to cervical cancer, believes there is a similar link in men. Again, like I said, it is not proven, yet.
The vaccine will be given to boys in the next few years. Girls in Australia already get the vaccine at or about the age of 12. Here is something I found on the cancer institutes website... Key Points Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of more than 100 types of viruses (see Question 1). Most HPV infections go away on their own (see Questions 1, 4, and 5) HPVs are the major cause of cervical cancer. HPVs may also play a role in cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, and penis, and some cancers of the oropharynx (see Question 3). Although there is no cure for HPV infection, the warts and lesions these viruses cause can be treated (see Question 10). Researchers at the National Cancer Institute and elsewhere are conducting research on HPV-related cancers (see Question 11). The highlighted data is my emphasis... hope this clears things up a little. Xrayman |
