Causes And Symptoms of STDs In Males

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are transmitted through any type of sexual activity. Some are specific to a man or woman, but many are common to the two sexes. The symptoms, if any, are also sometimes different and men should not assume they are free of any infections if they are not showing signs. Men should be alert to any changes and be aware of some symptoms which might appear similar to other conditions.

10. Proctitis

Proctitis is a condition resulting from sexually transmitted diseases, including gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, anal warts, and chlamydia. Prevalent among gay men and those who practice anal and oral sex with multiple partners, it causes an inflammation of the anus and rectum lining. An affected person will show signs of pain and cramping during bowel movements and possibly bleeding and other discharge.
