Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is recognized globally as a major sexually transmitted infection that not only poses a significant health risk to women, but also causes diseases in men, such as genital warts, infertility, and oropharyngeal cancer. These conditions can reduce a man's quality of life and overall happiness. Although HPV vaccination has been a notable success in women's health, it also needs to be implemented in men. In recent years, experts have advocated the HPV vaccine for men because of its broad effectiveness and safety in preventing HPV infection and related diseases. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to comprehensively explore the diseases caused by HPV in men and the significance of HPV vaccination, in order to improve the awareness and absorption of HPV vaccination in men. The review highlights the critical importance of increasing HPV vaccine coverage in men to reduce the incidence of HPV-related diseases and improve public health outcomes.
