HPV Vaccines in Seoul
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), affecting both men and women. Certain HPV strains can cause genital warts and increase the risk of cancers, including penile, anal, throat, and cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect against high-risk HPV infections and related health complications.
At Proud Urology Clinic in Gangnam, we provide comprehensive HPV vaccination services for men and women, helping patients protect their health with expert medical guidance.
What is HPV?
HPV is a group of over 100 viruses that can infect the skin and mucous membranes. It is highly contagious and primarily spreads through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity.
There are two main types of HPV infections:
🔹 Low-Risk HPV – Causes genital warts but does not lead to cancer.
🔹 High-Risk HPV – Can lead to cancer of the genitals, anus, or throat if left untreated.
Why is the HPV Vaccine Important?
The HPV vaccine provides long-term protection against cancer-causing HPV strains and prevents the spread of genital warts. The vaccine is most effective before exposure to the virus, making early vaccination ideal for both men and women.
HPV-Related Health Risks in Men
- Genital warts – Caused by HPV types 6 and 11.
- Penile cancer – Linked to high-risk HPV strains.
- Anal cancer – More common in men with weakened immune systems.
- Oropharyngeal cancer – HPV-related throat cancer affecting the tonsils and base of the tongue.
Who Should Get the HPV Vaccine?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) recommend HPV vaccination for:
✔ Adolescents (Ages 9-14) – The best time to receive the vaccine for maximum effectiveness.
✔ Young Adults (Ages 15-26) – Recommended for those who have not yet been vaccinated.
✔ Men & Women Up to Age 45 – Vaccination may still be beneficial, especially for those at risk of HPV exposure.
