What medicine should I use for itchy genitals?

We say that women are prone to urinary tract infection, vaginitis and other gynecological diseases due to the structure of the vagina and their own physiological characteristics, which leads to frequent urination, urgency and pain. In fact, if men do not pay attention to their own hygiene, they may also suffer from urinary system diseases. Some men always feel itchy scrotum, so they suspect that they have contracted some sexually transmitted disease and panic all day long. As long as there is no history of sexual promiscuity, there is no need to worry too much.
