Recurrent itching of the skin at the base of the penis

The penis is the lifeblood of men, and it plays a role in the continuation of the family line, so men usually pay more attention to the protection of the penis. However, sometimes excessive protection may cause some discomfort, such as repeated itching of the skin at the base of the penis. What is going on? First of all, we should rule out inflammation, and pay attention to observe whether the penis skin is red, ulcerated, or has rashes. If necessary, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.

Precautions for protecting male genitals

1. Do not have unclean sex

Many sexually transmitted diseases in men, such as syphilis and gonorrhea, are related to unclean sexual intercourse. Unclean sexual intercourse not only makes it easy for you to get sick, but also spreads the disease to your wife and even children. It is extremely harmful and you must not do it with a lucky mentality.

2. Wear less jeans

The male reproductive system requires the best temperature at low temperatures. Wearing jeans frequently will make the local temperature too high, which is not conducive to sperm formation. Therefore, it is not advisable to wear jeans frequently to avoid male genital injuries, especially in summer and when the climate is humid.

3. Clean your sexual organs

Stay away from male genital trauma and pay attention to sexual organ hygiene. This is not just a matter for women, but men should also pay attention to it. Especially for those with long foreskin, they should economically remove the smegma, because smegma is not only easy to cause penile cancer, but also easy to cause cervical cancer in wives.

4. Sexual life should be moderate

It is important to pay attention to moderate sex life, which can bring people a pleasant mood and experience, and is good for the body and health. However, if you indulge in sexual desire without restraint, the reproductive organs will be congested for a long time, which will cause a decline in sexual function and easily lead to prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy, impotence, premature ejaculation, and inability to ejaculate.

5. Check regularly

Testicular cancer, penile cancer, etc., have a high cure rate if they are discovered in the early stage, but once they develop to the late stage, the cure rate is not ideal. Therefore, men over 35 years old may wish to check their external genitalia regularly. This is also something that men need to pay attention to in protecting their penis.

How to clean men's external genitalia

First, the male external genitalia includes the penis and scrotum. The penis is divided into the glans penis, also known as the glans penis, and the penis. The junction of the glans penis and the penis is called the coronal sulcus, and there is an upturned foreskin at the coronal sulcus. The shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions in the foreskin, dust, and urine residues after evaporation accumulate in the foreskin to form smegma, which is irritating to the glans penis and can easily cause inflammation. If the foreskin still covers the glans penis completely during puberty and cannot be turned up, it is called "phimosis". If it can be turned up but cannot expose the glans penis, it is called "phimosis". People with prepuce and phimosis have more smegma produced because the foreskin tightly covers the glans penis, which is more harmful. Studies have shown that smegma has carcinogenic effects and can cause penile cancer. At the same time, unclean external genitalia can induce genital diseases in spouses after marriage.

Second, the scrotum is an important tissue that protects the testicles. Its skin surface has abundant sweat glands that often secrete sweat. If it is not cleaned for a long time, the scrotum will become infected and inflamed under the action of sweat and bacteria on the skin surface. Long-term sweat stimulation is also an important cause of scrotal eczema.

Third, the anus discharges feces every day, and there is always a small amount of feces remaining at the anus. There are a lot of bacteria in the feces, and the warm and moist perineum becomes a good breeding place for bacteria.
