What causes penis itching?

Men often suffer from penile itching due to lack of attention to hygiene, inflammation of the foreskin and glans, excessive foreskin, inflammation of the coronal sulcus of the foreskin, genital warts and other diseases. Patients with penile itching will get hot when wearing clothes for a long time. Therefore, they should do a good job of local hygiene in daily life, try to avoid repeated friction, or indiscriminate use of hormone drugs. According to the pathological factors, they can go to the hospital for relevant examinations and prescribe professional drugs for treatment.

My husband's penis is itchy, what's going on?

First: The itching of the penis is most likely caused by contact dermatitis. A small number of men with allergic constitutions, when wearing underwear made of chemical fiber raw materials, are prone to dermatitis reactions such as erythema and papules on the skin in contact with the underwear, causing itching because the clothes are close to the perineal skin and the area is easily soaked by sweat.

Second: Most men who suffer from balanitis, excessive foreskin or phimosis will develop chronic inflammatory reactions due to the accumulation of smegma in the coronal sulcus of the foreskin. They are also prone to genital warts, which will cause local itching symptoms.

Third: There may also be non-infectious factors, including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soaps and detergents and other irritants. In this case, the local area may show edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may become purulent and form an ulcer surface.

Precautions

What are the causes of penis itching? After reading the above introduction, we will understand. When the penis is itchy, you must maintain a light diet and quit smoking and drinking. Also avoid irritating the area again and avoid scratching with your hands as much as possible to avoid aggravating the infection.

The male reproductive system consists of two parts: the internal and external genitalia. The external genitalia include the scrotum and penis; the internal genitalia include the gonads (testicles), the sperm ducts (epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts and urethra) and the accessory glands (seminal vesicles, prostate and bulbourethral glands). So how do we protect these internal and external genital organs? Let us tell you one by one.

External genitalia

scrotum

The scrotum is the temperature regulating organ of the male testicles and plays an important role in the production of sperm. Increased temperature will damage the reproductive epithelium of the testicles and produce deformed or dead sperm. Scrotal health care is mainly to prevent trauma, inflammatory swelling, dermatitis, eczema and tumors. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly maintain scrotal hygiene, wipe it with non-irritating disinfectant or warm water, and deal with scrotal injuries in a timely manner.

Men's scrotal health care mainly pays attention to the following two aspects:

1. Keep it dry and ventilated. Wash the scrotum frequently to keep it clean. Wear loose clothes to keep it ventilated and dry. Do not scratch it with your hands when you feel wet or itchy.

2. Keep a low temperature because the scrotum wraps and protects the testicles, and the testicles need to be in an environment slightly lower than body temperature. If you choose clothes that are too tight and the testicles are close to the body for a long time, it is easy to affect the spermatogenesis function of the testicles, which will not only affect future fertility, but also easily induce reproductive system diseases such as orchitis. Teenagers should try to sleep naked, change their bed sheets and quilt covers frequently, and choose pure cotton bedding, which is also helpful for the health of the reproductive system.

penis

The main functions of the penis are urination, ejaculation and sexual intercourse. It is the main organ of sexual behavior. The skin of the penis is extremely thin, there is no fat under the skin, and it is active and stretchable. The blood sinuses of the corpus cavernosum of the penis can be attached to blood. When there is no sexual impulse, the penis is soft. During sexual stimulation, the blood in the blood sinuses of the corpus cavernosum of the penis increases, and the penis swells, thickens, and becomes hard and erect. When the blood flowing in is equal to the blood flowing back, the penis continues to be erect. The head of the penis has rich nerve endings and is extremely sexy. When sexual intercourse reaches climax, ejaculation occurs due to the high excitement of the ejaculation center. If the penis cannot be erected or the erection is not hard enough under sexual stimulation, sexual intercourse cannot be performed, which is called "impotence". Abnormal penis erection or penis deformity can cause difficulty in sexual intercourse.
