Male Genital Disorders :
Male genital disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the male reproductive system, including the penis, testes, prostate, and associated structures. These disorders can arise due to various factors such as infections, hormonal imbalances, genetic predispositions, trauma, or underlying medical conditions. Common male genital disorders include erectile dysfunction, genital herpes, testicular cancer, Peyronie's disease, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). While some conditions may cause discomfort or inconvenience, others can significantly impact sexual function, fertility, and overall quality of life.

Prevalence studies indicate that male genital disorders affect a substantial portion of the male population worldwide, albeit to varying degrees depending on the specific condition and demographic factors. For example, erectile dysfunction is estimated to affect up to 30 million men in the United States alone, with prevalence increasing with age. Similarly, sexually transmitted infections such as genital herpes and human papillomavirus (HPV) are prevalent globally, with millions of new cases reported each year. Testicular cancer, though less common, predominantly affects younger men, with incidence rates varying geographically. Understanding the prevalence of these disorders is crucial for healthcare professionals to implement preventive measures, early detection strategies, and effective treatment interventions to promote male reproductive health and well-being.
