Why does the glans penis itch?

In life, we all need to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially for private parts, and pay more attention to cleanliness and hygiene. If one of the spouses suffers from a disease in the private parts, the other spouse should also go to the hospital for examination. It is a common phenomenon for men to feel itchy glans. When itching occurs, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid the disease becoming more serious and more difficult to treat.

(1) Non-infectious factors:

Including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soap and detergents and other irritations, local manifestations may be edema erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may become purulent and form an ulcer. The patient has obvious pain and difficulty in movement. Clinically, it is called acute superficial glansitis.

(2) Candida infection:

Candida is a conditionally pathogenic fungus, so candidal glans inflammation often occurs after diabetes, senile wasting diseases, and large amounts of antibiotics or hormone treatment. It can also be primary, mostly transmitted from the spouse's candidal vaginitis. The glans and coronal sulcus may have light red erosions and thin-walled pustules, but Candida is often not found locally, which may be caused by local allergic reactions caused by Candida.

Most patients first have balanoposthitis, which causes the local loss of normal barrier function, and then is caused by intestinal amoebiasis. Local erosion, ulceration, and obvious tissue necrosis can be found in direct smears of secretions.

(4) Trichomonas infection:

Most cases are caused by the spouse suffering from vaginal trichomoniasis. The symptoms are mild, mainly manifested as erythematous papules and small blisters on the glans. The borders are clear and the scope gradually expands. Patients often feel itchy. Trichomonas can be found in the secretions. In addition, there are some cases of glansitis whose causes are unknown, but the foreskin is too long and the smegma irritation is often related to the occurrence of glansitis. Therefore, men should also wash their lower body frequently, keep the local area clean, and avoid irritation.

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene on a daily basis. If itching symptoms occur, go to the hospital immediately.

2. Actively treat the primary disease. For example: balanitis, prepuce is too long, etc. If the above diseases are found, they should be treated first.

3. Avoid unclean sexual intercourse to prevent infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria.
