What causes men's scrotal itching? We need to understand the internal and external causes.

Scrotal itching is a common symptom in many men. Generally speaking, after discovering the itching of the scrotum, male friends also need to deal with it in time. So, what is the cause of men's scrotal itching?

Causes of scrotal itching in men:

Internal factors

This is mainly due to the unreasonable design of traditional men's underwear.

Due to the unique body structure of men, and because that unique part is very important, men's underwear actually has a great impact on men. However, because men are more casual in nature, they often endure and ignore the discomfort caused by poorly designed underwear.

Men's sexual function and fertility are closely related to the temperature of the testicles. The contraction of the scrotum is to regulate the temperature of the testicles to be 2 to 3 degrees below the body temperature. If you touch the scrotum with your hand, you will feel it is cooler than other parts of the body. Only when the testicles are 2 to 3 degrees below the body temperature can the secretion of testosterone reach its best. Testosterone can promote sperm production, improve sperm quality and enhance sexual function.

Most traditional underwear on the market are designed with double layers in the front, which wraps the penis and scrotum together, leaving the scrotum in a hot and humid environment for a long time. Over time, it is easy to cause scrotal eczema, sexual dysfunction, severe varicocele and even infertility. The unreasonable design of underwear is the main external cause of scrotal eczema and causes scrotal itching.

External factors

① The living and working environment is humid, and the air humidity is relatively high;

②External stimulation, cold or hot, excessive sweating, excessive scratching, etc.;

③ Tight underwear, friction with foreign objects, and wearing synthetic underwear can induce scrotal eczema;

Scrotal eczema can also be acquired through sexual transmission. Clinically, 20% of scrotal eczema patients are infected through unhealthy sexual transmission.
