Anal HPV

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the anal area can lead to the development of warts and increase the risk of anal dysplasia and cancer. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection, and vaccination can help prevent it. Regular screening of higher risk populations is important for early detection and management.
