Itchy penis with discharge

Many men will encounter some andrological problems in their lives, but they don’t think it’s serious. When they feel symptoms, they think it’s a serious stage, like the penis is itchy and has discharge. This symptom may be caused by bacterial infection or glans inflammation. So everyone needs to know that it’s important to protect the health of the reproductive system.

1. Acute superficial glansitis: Non-infectious factors may cause penile itching, including local trauma, friction, contraceptive drugs, soap and detergent stimulation, etc., which may manifest locally as edema erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may suppurate and form an ulcer surface. Patients with penile itching may experience obvious pain and have difficulty in moving. Clinically, this condition is called acute superficial glansitis. Balanitis is prone to complications of prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis and inflammation of organs such as the vas deferens, leading to sexual dysfunction, impotence and premature ejaculation, and the inflammatory infection will affect the quality of sperm and lead to male infertility. Penitis can also easily cause ascending infection of the urinary system, especially chronic penitis that cannot be cured for a long time is most likely to cause urinary system diseases, and severe cases can be life-threatening.

2. Acute epididymitis: Penile itching may be a symptom of acute epididymitis. Do not have sex when you have acute epididymitis. Because the epididymis is in an inflammatory state of congestion and edema, the penis is widely congested during sexual intercourse, which will aggravate the swelling of the epididymis and hinder the disappearance of inflammation. If epididymitis is not treated in time, it will affect the function of the epididymis, change the environment inside the epididymis, thereby affecting the maturation of sperm and reducing its fertilization ability; inflammation can also cause blockage of the epididymal duct, affecting the output of sperm, all of which can cause clinical infertility.

3. Scrotal eczema: The main symptoms are redness, swelling or exudate and desquamation of the scrotal skin. Due to severe itching, the scrotal skin may thicken and become lichenified after scratching. If it is not diagnosed and treated promptly and effectively, it will cause serious consequences.

4. Pubic lice: Pubic lice have special hook-shaped claws that grab the skin in the pubic hair area and the sweat hair around the anus. Their bites and saliva toxins can cause local skin itching, folliculitis and eczema-like changes. Tianjin Sunshine Men's Clinic kindly reminds: If male friends suffer from unbearable penile itching and it does not heal for a long time, they should seek medical attention in time, as it may be caused by the above infections. Symptomatic treatment is more effective, and do not use YAO blindly. Also, pay attention to eating less spicy and irritating foods, avoid colds, and have a healthy sex life.
