Orchitis
Epididymitis and urethritis
Chlamydia
These are some scary, perhaps little known diseases and complications of the bacterium that causes chlamydia. Lymphogranuloma venereum is an uncommon genital or anorectal (affecting the anus and/or rectum) disease that can cause genital ulcers, while orchitis (inflammation of the tube connecting the urethra and the testicles) and epididymitis are testicular disorders. Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) in men begins with a burning sensation during urination and a thick or watery discharge that drips from the opening at the end of the penis. Infection without symptoms is common. The most common causes of urethritis are the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis.
