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.

Inflammation

An example of a male genital disease is orchitis.

Classification by location of disease

Penis

Mondor's disease is a non-common disease
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

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), and cancer (which is the accumulation of malignant cells in the gland).
