What to do if your penis itches

Some men always feel that their penis is a little itchy, and the itchy feeling is similar to the pleasure of masturbation, that is, the feeling of ejaculation. Moreover, the penis is itchy when it is not erect, and they always want to masturbate and ejaculate. However, since patients also know that masturbation will lead to sexual dysfunction, but if they do not masturbate, they cannot relieve the itching of the penis. We say that at this time, the patient should go to the hospital to check whether there is an inflammation problem in the penis.

Considering that it may be an inflammation caused by bacterial infection, in addition, masturbation can also cause penile itching.

2. Causes of Penile Itching

1. Contact dermatitis: A small number of men with allergic constitutions may develop dermatitis reactions such as erythema and papules on the skin in contact with the underwear, causing itching, because the clothes are close to the perineal skin and the area is easily soaked by sweat.

2. Balanitis: Men with excessive foreskin or phimosis usually suffer from chronic inflammatory reactions due to the accumulation of smegma in the coronal sulcus of the foreskin. They are also prone to condyloma acuminatum and often experience local itching.

3. Pubic lice: Pubic lice have special hook-shaped claws that grab the skin in the pubic area and the sweat hair around the anus. Their bites and the stimulation of their saliva toxins can cause local skin itching, folliculitis, and eczema-like changes.

4. Tinea cruris and tinea glutealis: Men with obese and sweaty physiques are prone to fungal growth and reproduction due to their sweaty and moist vulva, which can lead to tinea cruris and tinea glutealis. The symptoms are ring-shaped red papules at the base of the thigh or buttocks, which often cause scaling and itching.

5. Caused by non-infectious factors, including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soaps and detergents, etc., the local area may show edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may cause suppuration and form an ulcer surface.

6. People with allergies, chronic mental tension, and mood swings are also prone to penile itching.

7. People with chronic digestive diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders are also prone to penile itching due to external factors.
