What causes men's testicles to itch?

The testicle is one of the important signs of men. It is very important. For example, it can affect the quality of life of our couple and fertility issues, etc. Therefore, the care and protection of male testicles is very important. The male testicles will feel itchy, and sometimes small red bumps will appear. What should we do to alleviate such symptoms? Let's learn together below.

Testicular itching may generally have the following causes:

(1) It is more common in people who do manual labor, especially in summer, when the genitals are hot, sweaty, damp, and poorly breathable. The testicular skin is stained by sweat and rubbed by underwear, causing itching. Wearing tight jeans or non-absorbent, non-breathable nylon underwear can also cause this condition.

(2) Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency can lead to scrotitis. The testicles will 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) Inflammatory diseases caused by fungi, such as candidal orchitis and tinea cruris involving the scrotum, can cause testicular itching.

(4) Neurodermatitis and eczema in the testicular area can cause itching. In summary, testicular itching is generally 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 contracting a sexually transmitted disease.

Warm reminder: You should wear loose cotton inner and outer pants to allow ventilation of the vulva and keep the scrotum dry. Pay attention to local hygiene and wash it every day. If itching is obvious, do not scratch it and do not boil it with boiling water. If various local damages occur, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Don't take testicular itching lightly. Go to the hospital for a checkup immediately and listen to the doctor's advice. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and learn to relax. When wearing pants, it is best to choose breathable and comfortable fabrics to avoid high temperatures and moisture in the testicular area. Also, pay attention to hygiene and change and wash underwear frequently.
