Many men suffer from scrotal itching. Vulvar itching is often accompanied by redness, swelling, and small bumps. This condition is usually called male scrotal itching, which is a common symptom of male reproductive infection.

There are many reasons for male scrotal itching. If scrotal itching occurs, you must find the cause and then take corresponding solutions. If the itching is caused by disease factors, the primary disease should be actively treated. Local moisture is a major cause of male scrotal itching.

The scrotum itself has glandular secretions, and sweating is frequent. If you often wear tight, synthetic underwear that is not good at absorbing sweat and is not ventilated, it is easy to cause scrotal itching. Sexual intercourse with a woman with candidal vaginitis can also cause scrotal itching due to irritation of the male genitals by the inflammatory secretions. In addition, mental tension, stimulation from spicy food, friction, static electricity, and detergent residue on underwear that irritates the vulvar skin can also induce scrotal itching.

1. If the vaginal itching is caused by local reasons, you must pay attention to personal hygiene. Wash in time before and after sexual intercourse, keep the local area dry, and use talcum powder on the scrotum appropriately.

2. Wear cotton, sweat-absorbent underwear to help ventilation; use mild detergent, and use less soap and washing powder. Avoid washing with very hot water or using irritating drugs, and avoid eating spicy food to avoid worsening the condition.

3. Try to avoid scratching as much as possible, as it can lead to a vicious cycle and form chronic simple lichen planus, which is more difficult to treat.

4. If the scrotal itching is caused by Candida infection, itching of the penis, red papules and white scaling often occur. Men with this type of scrotal itching can use antifungal drugs, either orally or topically. It is best to use the drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

The above content is an introduction to the causes of male scrotal itching. Wearing tight underwear frequently is very likely to cause this symptom.

If the situation is more serious, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
