A male genital disease is a condition that affects the male reproductive system. The human male genitals consists of testes and epididymides, ductus deferentes, seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts, prostate, bulbourethral glands, and penis.[1]

Classification by type of disease

Aetiological agents

Bacterial

Fungus

Parasites

Virus

Cancers

The probability of contracting a cancerous development depends on age, ethnicity and the existence, or non-existence, of environmental causation. Unlike all other genitally situated cancers, the incidence of penis cancer is related to the sexual mode of transmission.[3]

Inflammation

An example of a male genital disease is orchitis.

Classification by location of disease

Penis

Mondor's disease is a non-common disease[4]
Peyronie's disease is diagnosed when there is evidence of scar tissue formation within the tunica albuginea, tissue which contributes to the maintenance of the erectile state[5]

Prostate

The three most statistically frequently occurring diseases of the prostate gland are benign hyperplasia (a swelling of the gland, not due to cancerous accumulation), prostatitis (inflammation), cancer[6] (which is the accumulation of malignant cells in the gland)[7]
