Maintaining Male Organ Health with the HPV Vaccine
by John Dugan OwnerBy
now many men have heard of the HPV vaccine for women. This vaccine is vitally
important to help sensually active women avoid HPV infection, which is one of
the most common reasons for cervical cancer. But men who want to ensure the
best possible member care should
also get the vaccine, as it is designed to provide many protections for
everyone, not just the females in the equation. Here’s what a man needs to
know.
What is HPV, anyway?
Also known as human papillomavirus, HPV is one of the most common
viruses among adults. In fact, the CDC reports that most people will be
infected with it at some point in their lives. Most people aren’t aware of
their infection, since so many cases are “silent” and leave no symptoms. But
some do face issues, such as midsection warts or cervical cancer.
What happens when a man gets HPV?
Most people already know that cervical cancer and HPV are strongly
linked. But when a guy gets HPV, lots of ugly things can happen to him, too.
For men, it usually shows up as midsection warts. Though these warts aren’t
necessarily a health problem, they are certainly a problem for a man’s bedroom
life; he must inform his partners that he has the warts, which can be
problematic when trying to get to know a new partner. He must also be careful
to wear a barrier protection at all times, even with a regular partner, so as
not to spread the warts.
HPV is also shown to have a role in a small number of cases of
backside cancer, member cancer and throat cancer. Though this is rare, the
possibility can increase if a man does things that would otherwise lead to
problems in those areas, such as smoking.
How can a man protect against HPV?
Fortunately, the HPV vaccine for women works for men, too. Good
male organ health relies on getting the proper vaccines, including the HPV
vaccine. Though it is recommended that a boy receive the vaccine between the
ages of 11 and 12, it can be given to men up to 26 years of age. It is always
most effective when given to a man who is not yet sensually active, as he has a
much lower chance of any socially shared infection, including HPV, already
present.
However, a man who is older than the age of 26 can take steps to
protect himself, even if he isn’t eligible for the HPV vaccine. He can do this
through regularly monitoring his male organ health to ensure there are no
changes or abnormalities in his equipment. He can also choose partners
carefully and use a barrier protection each time, until he chooses to stay
monogamous with a partner and they have both been tested for HPV and other
infections. If he does happen to test positive for HPV, it’s time to sit down
with the doctor and discuss ways to protect his health and the health of his
partners.
In addition, a man can turn to great hygiene to help his male
organ health stay in tip-top shape. That includes the regular use of a
specially formulated male organ health crème (health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin).
A guy can benefit from alpha lipoic acid, which fights free radicals, as well
as L-carnitine for better overall health. He can keep the skin smooth and
supple with the addition of Shea butter and vitamin E, and for the finishing
touch, turn to a crème with vitamins D and C – both known for their healing and
protective properties.
