人乳头瘤病毒感染与男性生殖健康的关系

Human papillomavirus infection and male reproductive health

人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染是全球常见的性传播疾病(STD)之一,男女生殖器正常上皮中均可能存在HPV的DNA。由于大多数的HPV感染为无症状或亚临床症状感染,HPV健康携带者成为主要的传染源。研究显示男性HPV感染与STD、不育、生殖器肿瘤、女性性伴侣的HPV感染均有一定的关系,因此,应采取一定的措施,降低男性的HPV感染率,其中包皮环切、减少性伴侣数目、使用安全套可能是有效的措施。

Human papillomavirus （HPV） infection is one of the worldwide sexually transmitted diseases （STD）, and the DNA of HPV can exist in the normal epithelium of reproductive organs of both men and women. Because the majority of HPV infections are asymptomatic, healthy HPV-carriers become the main source of the infection. Studies show that HPV infection in men is correlated with STD, infertility, tumor of reproductive organs, and infection in the sexual partners. Therefore, measures should be taken to reduce male HPV infection, including circumcision, fewer sexual partners, and condom use.
