Causes of itching in men's genitals

There are many things in life that are hard to talk about, such as itchy genitals in men. No matter which man this happens to, I believe it is embarrassing and embarrassing to tell doctors or other people. This is understandable. Itchy genitals in men can bring a lot of troubles. It is for this reason that men want to know why they itch.

(1) Physical labor. Especially in winter, people who engage in physical labor are prone to itching due to the dampness and poor ventilation of the genitals, the scrotal skin being stained by sweat, and the friction of underwear. Wearing too tight jeans or nylon underwear that is not absorbent and breathable may also cause this condition.

(2) Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency can lead to scrotitis. The scrotum may show changes such as erythema, dryness, scaling, papules and scabs, accompanied by itching. At the same time, angular cheilitis, glossitis and oral ulcers may also occur.

(3) Scrotal inflammation caused by fungi, such as candidal scrotitis and tinea cruris involving the scrotum, can cause scrotal itching. Editor's recommendation: Protect your testicles when sleeping.

(4) Neurodermatitis and eczema in the scrotum can cause itching. General scrotal itching is not a sexually transmitted disease. As long as there is no history of sexual promiscuity, genital ulcers or growths, urethral discharge, etc., there is no need to worry about it.

Generally speaking, the above four reasons are the causes of itching in men's private parts. When men do physical labor, they will be affected by various factors, which can easily cause itching in the private parts. If this is the case, just pay attention to it. However, if it is caused by riboflavin deficiency or inflammation, men should not hide it and tell the doctor about it.
