Cancers

[edit]

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

[edit]

An example of a male genital disease is orchitis.[citation needed]

Classification by location of disease

[edit]

Penis

[edit]

Prostate

[edit]

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), and cancer[6] (which is the accumulation of malignant cells in the gland).[7]
