What causes men's penis to itch?

Women have weaker constitutions and are often prone to illness, but men generally rarely get sick. Some men may feel uncomfortable in their reproductive organs, especially the penis, due to lack of hygiene or other reasons. They feel itchy and are embarrassed to go to the hospital for consultation and treatment. This is wrong. The following editor will introduce to you what is the cause of men's penis itching, so that male friends can have a certain understanding of this aspect.

Penile itching indicates four male diseases:

1. Acute superficial galactitis:

Non-infectious factors may cause penile pruritus, including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soaps and detergents, etc., which may manifest locally as edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may become purulent and form an ulcer. Patients with penile pruritus may experience obvious pain and difficulty in movement. Clinically, this condition is called acute superficial glansitis.

2. Acute epididymitis:

Penile itching may be a symptom of acute epididymitis. When suffering from acute epididymitis, do not have sex. Because the epididymis is in an inflammatory state of congestion and edema, the penis is widely congested during sexual intercourse, which will aggravate the swelling of the epididymis and is not conducive to the disappearance of inflammation.

3. Scrotal eczema:

The main symptoms are redness, swelling or exudate and desquamation of the scrotal skin. Due to severe itching, the scrotal skin may thicken and become lichenified after scratching. If it is not diagnosed and treated promptly and effectively, it will cause serious consequences.

4. Pubic lice:

Pubic lice have special hook-shaped claws that attach to the skin in the pubic area and around the anus. Their bites and the stimulation of their saliva toxins can cause local skin itching, folliculitis, and eczema-like changes.

When a man's penis itches, it may be because the underwear he is wearing is not suitable. At this time, you should observe whether there are some small red spots on your penis or some signs of inflammation on the glans. If the underwear is not suitable, you should change it first. If it is still itchy after a few days, it may be some inflammation. At this time, the patient should go to the hospital for examination. The cause must be found out before symptomatic treatment can be given.
