Does anyone know what the symptoms of HPV are for men?

by Symptom Advice on January 23, 2011

I know what they are for women but not men. And can it pass through condoms?

Condoms are 99% effective so that means there is always a chance. Sorry, not sure what the symptons are.

There are no symptoms for men, unless they have the type that causes genital warts. Condoms are 99% effective for HPV prevention as well as HIV or HEP C

Men also get genital warts like women.
If aman has active warts, it can pass through.
But not through condoms.

Symptoms

The warts on genitals and anus look skin-colored. They are raised lesions either single or in a bunch. If genital warts are not treated, they may spread, grow and also form cauliflower type appearance. the outer warts can be easily seen. but if women develop warts inside their genitalia, the warts are not seen till a doctor examines the site. the area near the warts growth can become damper. Women may have more discharge. as genital area is moist and warm, the HPV virus multiplies there very fast once warts develop.

Unless the man has genital warts, there are no other symptoms of HPV. They don't have "the drip" like ghonorrhea or anything like that. It can get around condoms because it affects the entire genital area, not just the penis itself.
