What Are the Causes of Male Genital Itching?
The causes of male anogenital pruritus, or genital itching, can be relatively mild or symptomatic of a more serious ailment. Genital itching is a common complaint among male patients. To diagnose the source of the problem, a physician will question a patient about its duration, whether the itching is confined to one area, if there are any additional symptoms and if the patient has a history of illness or sexually transmitted diseases. In some cases, the genital itching is idiopathic. It has no discernible cause.
