ISTANBUL (TR) - Cervical cancer, which is the 4th most common cancer among women globally, poses a significant threat to men as well. Scientific research shows that 40% of men in the world have HPV. In a study conducted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the detection of HPV in more than 65% of 1,160 men reveals the danger posed by this disease. Men whose spouses have been diagnosed with cervical cancer are at the highest risk. According to studies, the incidence of HPV in this population can reach up to 75%.

Urology Specialist Op. Dr. Miraç Turan said, “HPV virus can manifest itself with warts in the genital area in the first place in men. It can cause cancers of the anus, penis and mouth and larynx. As in all types of cancer, a robust immune system plays the leading role in clearing the HPV virus from the body. Early diagnosis and correct treatment methods create satisfactory results. Studies show that 75% of men completely clear the virus in 1 year. In cases where warts do not turn into cancer, they continue to be contagious with their carrier identity.

Its social and psychological effects are as dangerous as cancer!

Pointing out that it is of great importance to inform the patients correctly during the diagnosis and treatment of genital warts, Op. Dr. Miraç Turan said, “The social and psychological effects of the HPV virus, which poses a danger to physical health, are as dangerous as cancer! Genital warts can turn men's lives into a nightmare due to the limited diagnosis and treatment, repetitive nature and misinformation of patients. Most social problems stem from a lack of knowledge. These problems can even turn sexual intercourse into a phobia. However, treatment methods carried out by a urologist who is an expert in the field eliminate these problems by keeping patients away from information pollution. Experts who make the patient feel comfortable and adopt the principle of confidentiality are guiding in overcoming social problems.”

Progress is halted by being burned

Stating that the treatment of genetic warts is a long process that includes diagnosis, treatment, and after, Urology Specialist Op. Dr. Miraç Turan assessed: “With local anesthesia, cryotherapy and cauterization methods, warts can be burned and their progression can be stopped. However, this does not mean that warts will not recur. Depending on the strength of the virus and the immune system, warts can recur. If possible, strengthening the immune system, avoiding cigarettes and alcohol, adopting a healthy diet and regular sleep habits play a major role in the treatment. Although these criteria cannot clear the virus from the body in a short time, they increase the likelihood of being cleared over the years. HPV vaccines, which have also been applied to men in recent years, provide a high level of protection. Vaccines determined to have the ability to kill the virus cannot prevent transmission, but they can eliminate the cancer-causing effect of HPV.”

HPV can be cleared by supporting the immune system with AHCC

Alpha-glucan-weighted Active Hexose Correlation Compound obtained after fermentation of Shiitake mushroom grown in Japan can help clear the HPV virus from the body by strengthening the immune system. Op. Dr. Miraç Turan said, “Interventions on warts destroy the wart, but it does not destroy the HPV virus that causes warts. No drug can destroy the HPV virus. Patients need to keep their immune system strong after the warts are removed. At this point, AHCC can prevent the recurrence of warts by supporting HPV clearance in patients.”

A study observed that 1 gram of AHCC supplementation per day for six months could ensure the removal of the HPV virus from the body by 45%. It was observed that 66.7% of the HPV virus was cleared when the daily usage amount was increased to 3 grams per day, and when used for six months, approximately 70% of the HPV virus was removed in those who used it for 12 months.

Op. Dr. Miraç Turan recommended AHCC to HPV patients in the follow-up process to prevent the recurrence of warts by ensuring HPV removal after wart removal procedures.

An experienced urologist plays the role of consultant in the treatment

Noting that the treatment of genital warts is becoming more and more common with many right and wrong types, Op. Dr. Miraç Turan said, “The fact that sexual contact is internal or external is enough for the virus to be transmitted. The use of condoms during intercourse does not eliminate the possibility of transmission of the virus. Moreover, the most recent studies show that the virus can be transmitted not only sexually but also through hand contact or oral sex. We also observe that the virus has become more assertive in recent years and increases the possibility of cancer. At this point, instead of acting on their own, choose an experienced urologist.”
