Sexual relations are not only pleasure, but also responsibility, both to the partner and to oneself. In addition, it is certainly the observance of precautions and hygiene. Otherwise, the symptoms of various sexually transmitted diseases will not take long.
You should start with the most common problem that can bother a man - what causes the penis to scratch?
The condition of itching is provoked by the following factors. This is friction, irritating the genital organ, and fungus.
Infection is accompanied by redness and itching. In the absence of a timely visit to a doctor, the disease will begin to spread along the surface of the penis, the skin will become red, and subsequently it will peel off and become inflamed in the form of rings.
The most common pathogens of infections from which the head itches, the skin becomes inflamed, are:
- herpes virus;
- candidiasis;
- inguinal epidermophytosis, pediculosis, fungi;
- scabies.
Most diseases that cause redness and discomfort are transmitted through sexual contact. However, an allergic reaction is not excluded, because of which the head of the penis often itches , as well as a banal disregard for hygiene rules.
However, in any case, if any symptoms occur, it is strongly recommended that you contact a specialist immediately.
One of the main and most common diseases, in the occurrence of which the head itches, is candidiasis. This ailment in rare cases is transmitted through sexual contact. As a rule, this disease is not associated with sexual life. The main symptoms of candidiasis, in addition to itching and redness, are discharge, similar in appearance to seminal fluid, but easily distinguishable from it. In addition, the head itches, a white coating forms on it. Candidiasis is also accompanied by pain during urination.
Does not apply to sexually transmitted diseases and balanitis. When it occurs, in addition to itching, an inflammatory process occurs in the foreskin. Balanitis provoke microorganisms that accumulate in the prepunctival sac. They penetrate the formation of smegma. As a result, the foreskin becomes inflamed, the head itches and itches. Men are also affected by this disease, irresponsibly related to genital hygiene, as well as those suffering from pathological phimosis. It should be noted that balanitis is very easily amenable to therapy, while the main condition is a timely visit to a doctor. Otherwise, minor itching can turn into severe inflammation, accompanied by the formation of ulcers and secretions.
During a clinical examination of a patient complaining of itching, the doctor can detect the presence of a disease such as inguinal epidermophytosis. Despite the fact that with the development of the disease, the genital organ is rarely involved in the process, an examination is necessary so that the doctor can accurately determine the cause of the appearance of discomfort and redness.
As practice shows, non-observance of precautions during sexual contact can cause itching and burning, and neglect of the usual hygiene rules provoke the same symptoms along with fungi and infections. In the first case, the diseases are venereal in nature, and in the second they are associated exclusively with the cleanliness of a man.
There can be many ailments, the symptoms of their accompanying - even more. However, experts agree that timely prevention will prevent problems. However, if there is discomfort, discomfort or other manifestations, contacting a doctor should be immediate. In many cases, this avoids undesirable, and sometimes very serious consequences.
