Genital itching is awkward, restlessness affects sleep quality, lack of concentration during class or work, and reduces work and learning efficiency. Causing genital itching is not only related to hygiene habits, but may also lead to other diseases.
What is the reason for male genital itching?
1. Genital herpes or balanoposthitis
Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted disease that typically occurs in the glans, penis, and coronal sulcus of males. It is mainly transmitted through sexual activity and the daily necessities used by the patient. Patients may experience mild pain, itching, and burning sensation locally. Severe patients have obvious ulcers in the buttocks, perineum, and anus. The male prepuce secretes sebum. If the prepuce is too long or the phimosis cannot remove sebum immediately, it will form smegma that is difficult to remove for a long time, breed a large number of bacteria, induce balanitis of the prepuce, and it is difficult to bear the itching of the genital parts.
2. Scrotal disease
There are many factors that can cause scrotal eczema. For example, mental dysfunction, endocrine dysfunction, intestinal parasites, stimulation of bacteria and dirt, poor hygiene conditions, and friction of underwear can also cause scrotal eczema and itching of local reproductive organs. When suffering from scrotal itching, the patient's skin appearance is basically normal, but due to the itching, some parts appear erosive and exudative, mainly related to the moist part of the emotional scrotum, some parts being excessively stimulated, and passing through tight synthetic underwear. In addition, local itching when suffering from scrotal neurodermatitis is a pathological change of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, especially when overwork, mental tension, and eating spicy and stimulating foods worsen.
3. Not paying attention to personal hygiene
Most men are busy with work and do not pay attention to details of their daily lives. If you do not pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of your private area, a large number of bacteria will grow in the perineum, causing local itching. In addition, unclean sexual activity and infection with bacteria during sexual activity can also cause itching in the genitals. In addition, when sexual partners suffer from gynecological inflammation, bacteria are transmitted to the male reproductive organs through sexual activity, causing balanoposthitis and local itching.
Warm reminder
Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, carefully clean reproductive organs before and after sexual activity, drink plenty of water, and reduce prolonged sitting. Avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods, maintain a calm mood, and choose pants and underwear with good ventilation.
