[Question #10330] Is it possible for HPV to be present in a tyson gland?

23 months ago

I know HPV doesn't cause tyson glands but can HPV be in a tyson gland.

I have these white bumps on my frenelum on my penis. My doctor currently does not think they are genital warts but are instead normal structures. With that said, at one point in the past he performed a biopsy on one of them by cutting one off and they were indeed genital warts.

Is it possible they aren't warts, but are normal structures that have HPV in them?

Welcome back, but I doubt we can help. Obviously you are obsessed with HPV and warts, and we have no way to resolve that obsession. I see no reason you should don't trust your doctor. However, he is the only one who can resolve this dilemma. He has examined you and I cannot, so I cannot compete with his evaluation and won't try to do so.

I have no idea whether HPV can invade Tyson glands. I wouldn't think so, but there are no data on this.

I see nothing here to be worried about. Sorry I can't help further than that.

If you had a medical condition that has significantly impacted your life for over two years, I bet you'd be "obsessed " with it too.
