Urinary Tract Male

In the human male, the urethra is about 8 inches (20 cm) long and opens at the end of the penis. The urethra provides an exit for urine as well as semen during ejaculation. The urethra is divided into four parts in men, named after the location:
1. Pre-prostatic urethra: This is the intramural part of the urethra and varies between 0.5 and 1.5 cm in length depending on the fullness of the bladder.
2. Prostatic urethra: Crosses through the prostate gland. There are several openings: (1) the ejaculatory duct, (2) several prostatic ducts, (3) the prostatic utricle.
3. Membranous urethra: A small (1 or 2 cm) portion passing through the external urethral sphincter. This is the narrowest part of the urethra. It is located in the deep perineal pouch. The bulbourethral glands (Cowper's gland) are found posterior to this region but open in the spongy urethra.

Epididymitis

The epididymis is a long, tightly coiled tube that lies above and behind each testicle. It collects and stores maturing sperm made by the testicles prior to ejaculation. Inflammation and infection of the epididymis is called epididymitis. The causes of epididymitis vary depending on your age and behavior. In children it is most commonly associated with urinary tract infections. In young, sexually active men, it is often linked to sexually transmitted disease.
