Can male genital problems be prevented?

There are several things that men can do to prevent many male genital problems. Since many male genital problems are caused by sexually transmitted diseases, it's a good idea to practice safe sex by using a condom every time and limiting your number of sex partners. To prevent infections, men should practice good hygiene by cleaning and drying the genital area and wearing loose-fitting clothing. Wearing an athletic cup and other protective gear may help prevent genital injuries during sports and recreational activity. You can help prevent problems from becoming serious by doing testicular self-exams to look for cancer and by seeing a doctor as soon as you notice any unusual symptoms.
