Frequently asked questions
Can men be tested for HPV?
Yes, men can discuss HPV testing with a urologist. HPV in men often causes no symptoms and frequently clears on its own, so testing is chosen based on your situation, such as visible warts or a partner's result. At HIGHST Urology Clinic, your urologist explains which approach makes sense for you.
Do genital warts go away on their own?
Sometimes, but not always, and they can take a long time. Warts can also spread or return. Treatment can remove visible warts, though the underlying HPV may still be present. Your urologist examines the warts and recommends a treatment suited to their size and location.
How many doses of the HPV vaccine do I need?
The HPV vaccine is given as a course of doses. The exact number and spacing depend on factors such as your age, so your urologist confirms the schedule at your consultation. Coordinators can help you book the remaining doses on WhatsApp or KakaoTalk.
Is the HPV vaccine useful if I am already sexually active?
It can still be useful. The vaccine helps protect against HPV types you have not yet been exposed to, although it does not treat an existing infection. Your urologist can discuss the potential benefit for you based on your age and history.
How long after exposure do warts appear?
Genital warts may appear weeks to months after exposure, and some people never develop visible warts at all. Because of this long and variable timeline, it is often hard to know when or from whom HPV was acquired. Your urologist can examine any new bumps.
Can I start the vaccine in Korea and finish at home?
Often this is possible, but it depends on vaccine availability and guidance in your home country. Tell your urologist about your travel plans before the first dose, and ask for a record of the doses you received so another doctor can continue the course.
