How do chlamydia and gonorrhea affect males?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Syphilis has the same effects in men and women. Chlamydia has different effects in males and females. Females are less likely to get symptoms than males, and can experience pelvic inflammatory disease. Men can experience prostatitis, epididymitis, and orchitis from chlamydia.

Answer 3

Chlamydia is more common than gonorrhea. They both occur quite frequently, though.

Answer 4

Chlamydia doesn't originate in either gender, but is an infectious disease passed from one person to another. Men and women are infected in equal numbers.
