Why does my glans penis feel a little itchy?

In daily life, many male friends have experienced itching on their glans, but few people know what causes itching on the glans. In fact, itching on the glans is related to the following three factors. The first reason is lack of hygiene.

1. Reasons why the glans penis is a little itchy

1. Not paying attention to hygiene. The itching of the glans penis may be caused by the male friend's foreskin being too long or not being clean enough. The dirty things between the foreskin and the glans penis, that is, smegma, will accumulate and irritate the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

2. Caused by glans inflammation. It manifests as erythema on the glans, and there are usually small pustules or papules on the surface. It also manifests as local edema of the glans mucosa, mild desquamation at the edges, and papules and small pustules expand to the surrounding area to form glans erosion.

3. Infectious. It is often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Diplococcus or other bacteria. Non-infectious factors are mostly caused by excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning. The dirt between the foreskin and the glans, namely smegma, will accumulate and irritate the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

Warm reminder: If male friends suffer from andrological diseases, they should first go to a regular professional andrological hospital for examination, and then receive symptomatic treatment to achieve the best treatment effect.

2. Daily care of balanitis:

1. Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin every day. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in time and circumcision should be performed if necessary. It is very necessary to clean the smegma in time.

2. Avoid unclean sexual intercourse and keep yourself clean.

3. If one of the spouses suffers from a sexual organ disease, they should suspend sexual activity and seek timely treatment. For example, if the spouse suffers from trichomonas or Candida albicans infection, both spouses should receive treatment at the same time.

4. For acute balanitis, ointment should be used with caution to avoid causing more serious infection.

5. If ulcer or erosion occurs, change the dressing in time to avoid uncomfortable irritation.
