Why is my scrotum itchy?

Everyone's body is different. Many men often experience scrotal itching due to excessive humidity and hotter weather in their daily lives. The itchy and painful feeling is unbearable, and bacterial infection may also occur. In the following article, I will introduce why the scrotum is always itchy. Usually, no one can guess what the cause is.

Etiology and pathology

1. Understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine: The external causes of this disease are mainly wind, dampness, heat evil, and insect poison disturbance, so there is a saying that "all itching is caused by deficiency and wind, and itching is caused by excessive heat and mild heat". The internal causes are often blood deficiency and wind dryness, liver and kidney deficiency, visceral weakness, dampness and heat, etc. Therefore, the ancients said: "Blood deficiency generates wind, and wind accumulation causes itching."

1. Exogenous pathogens: Wind, cold, dampness and heat invade the skin, stagnate between the skin and do not disperse, and then itching occurs. As stated in the Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases, "When the evil qi invades the skin and meets the wind and cold, itching and urticaria will occur."

2. Blood deficiency causes wind: The internal organs are weak, the qi and blood are insufficient, or the qi and blood are depleted due to long-term illness, and the skin and pores cannot be nourished, which causes wind and dryness and itching. Or it is caused by the invasion of wind evil during the deficiency, which is caused by the combination of internal and external evils.

3. Dampness and heat in the liver meridian flow downward: The liver meridian of the foot, Jueyin, runs along the pubic hair, around the genitals, and connects the tendons and veins. If there is dampness and heat in the liver meridian, it can flow downward along the meridian, stagnate in the skin of the anus, and cause itching.

4. Blood stasis causes wind: Due to various reasons, organ dysfunction occurs, blood stasis blocks the meridians, accumulates in the skin for a long time, and does not dissipate. Blood stasis in the meridians and external wind poison cause the disease.

5. Insect venom harassment: "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases" says: "In addition to ticks, it is also a small insect, very small in shape, and is caused by weak internal organs. In severe cases, it can cause hemorrhoids, fistulas, and ringworms." The ringworms mentioned here refer to itching of the skin of the anus. Insect venom harassment is one of the important causes of anal itching.

2. Modern medical knowledge: The real cause of anal itching is still unclear, but it is related to the following factors.

In the article, we learned what causes scrotal itching. First of all, it is because of the infection under the pubic hair. Bacteria and the growth of a lot of bacteria may cause this kind of phenomenon. As long as we pay more attention and receive more treatment, it will get better.
