What causes itchy foreskin?

The foreskin is also an important part of the male penis, and its main function on the penis is to protect the male's fragile glans. If a man's foreskin is too long, it is easy to cause smegma, which may lead to foreskin cancer over time. And men should also pay attention to health issues when using the penis, because the foreskin may also be infected with male diseases. So why does a man's foreskin itch?

1. Unclean sexual intercourse: The discomfort caused by extramarital affairs or unclean sexual life will lead to itching of the foreskin of the penis, etc. This situation often occurs shortly after the end of sexual life. The foreskin gradually swells, accompanied by a local feeling of heaviness, and the edema will reach its peak after a few hours.

2. Long-term masturbation: Masturbation can cause foreskin damage. Young men have very strong sexual desire and often masturbate. Sometimes the movements during masturbation are very rough, which can cause varying degrees of foreskin damage. Because the excitement during masturbation is very high and the damage is very small, bacteria can easily enter the body through the wound, leading to the occurrence of balanitis.

3. Local hygiene: For men who do not pay attention to the hygiene of their external genitals, if they do not pay attention to regular cleaning of their external genitals, it will easily lead to the formation of smegma. The formation of a large number of bacteria will also easily lead to inflammation.

4. Foreskin is too long: Men with foreskin that is too long are more likely to develop smegma, so the smegma will induce local inflammation of the foreskin and mucous membrane, leading to the appearance of symptoms of itchy foreskin.
