The most common infections urologists are seeing these days are sexually transmitted infections.
We call them “sexually transmitted infections” or “STIs”.

There are three types of microorganisms that can cause these diseases:

• Bacteria

• Viruses

• Protozoa (single-celled organisms)

Let’s start with viruses.
The most common viral STIs are genital herpes (HSV) and genital warts (HPV).

About 1 in 2 people worldwide has genital warts.
These warts are not necessarily dangerous.
Out of the approximately 100 types of viruses that can cause genital warts, only 9 types — or in the latest update, 13 types — are considered high-risk and cancerous.

So, we need to be cautious about these particular types.
