What causes itchy glans?

The structure of the male penis is very complex. There is an umbrella-shaped area above the penis, which is commonly known as the glans penis. Generally, the glans penis of men is very sensitive and is protected by the foreskin, but it is also easy to be infected with bacteria, resulting in glans penis itching. When a man has glans penis itching, it is similar to vulva vaginal itching in women, and the itching will be more obvious at night. Therefore, male glans penis itching must not be ignored, and the cause must be found and treated as soon as possible.
