Why is the foreskin itchy? It turns out it's because of this

Itchy foreskin is a common male disease, and it makes men feel very uncomfortable and do not know how to treat it. In fact, itchy foreskin may be caused by masturbation leading to foreskin injury, foreskin is too long or phimosis, and bacterial infection. Patients should determine the cause of their disease before scientific treatment, and should also keep clean and pay attention to their own hygiene.

1. Penis inflammation

Glanitis refers to an inflammation of the glans mucosa caused by trauma, irritation or infection. It can be caused by a variety of factors, such as local physical irritation (trauma, friction, contraceptives, detergents, urine, etc.), prepuce, phimosis, smegma irritation, various infections (bacteria, fungi, amoeba, trichomonas, etc.) and drug allergy.

2. Causes of itchy foreskin

1. Masturbation causes foreskin damage. Young people have strong sexual desire and often masturbate. Sometimes masturbation is too rough, which can cause foreskin damage to varying degrees. Because of the high excitement during masturbation, the damage is relatively small and may not be noticed, but the wound on the foreskin is very susceptible to bacterial contamination, causing redness, swelling and itching of the foreskin.

2. Suffering from prepuce that is too long or phimosis. Prepuce that is too long or phimosis can prevent the secretion of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin from being discharged, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine will synthesize the cheese-like and smelly "smegma". Due to the chronic stimulation of long-term urine and smegma, it can induce inflammation of the local foreskin and mucous membrane, resulting in redness and swelling of the foreskin.

3. It can be caused by infection with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Gonorrhea or other bacteria; or due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning, the unclean matter between the foreskin and the glans, namely smegma, will accumulate and irritate the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

3. Treatment Methods

1. Eat a light diet on weekdays and avoid spicy or irritating foods.

2 Men should clean their foreskin and glans penis regularly to keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry. Avoid unclean sexual intercourse.

3 If one of the spouses suffers from a sexual organ disease, they should suspend sexual activity and seek timely treatment.

4 If ulcer or erosion occurs, change the dressing in time, twice a day, to avoid uncomfortable irritation.

5 To prevent balanitis, you must pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin every day, if the foreskin is too long, treat it in time and perform circumcision if necessary.
