Some men can carry asymptomatic infections , such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) or fungal infections, without experiencing any visible discomfort. However, they can still transmit these infections to their partners.
What to do: Medical checkups aren’t just for women. Men should also have regular urological checkups and STI tests, especially if they have multiple sexual partners.
Prevention, condom use, and open communication are key to protecting both partners’ health.
