Chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause penile discharge and painful urination in males infected in the urethra. Like women, men with chlamydia rectally can have painful or difficult defecation; those with chlamydia in the throat may have a mild sore throat; and those with chlamydial conjunctivitis may have pinkeye. Over the long term, chlamydia may cause epididymitis, prostatitis, or orchitis in males.
