Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is one of the causes of anal cancer. This virus, primarily transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, is a common sexually transmitted infection. While most people are at risk of severe HPV infection, it is also a leading cause of cervical cancer in women. However, both men and women can develop anal cancer due to this infection.

Individuals with symptoms of anal cancer or those noticing signs around the anus should consult a colorectal surgery specialist without delay. The doctor will conduct a rectal examination to diagnose the disease and determine its stage, subsequently deciding on the appropriate treatment method.

Treatment options depend on the stage and type of the disease. Dr. Mohammad Majbahul Bahar, Assistant Professor in the Department of Colorectal Surgery at Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College, Dhaka, advises on the necessary steps and treatments.
