Male Organ Itch at Night: Tips for Easing the Urge to Scratch By John Dugan

Clocks and schedules mean nothing to that annoying male organ itch, which can demand a good scratch at any time. Yet for some men, nighttime male organ itch is notably bothersome, especially as one is desperately trying to fall asleep. Fortunately, while some itch is inevitable, proper male organ care can go a long way to minimizing the need to reach down and scratch.   So what things can a guy do to help keep his tool from itching like mad after the sun goes down and the lights go out? www.man1health.com

Pinpoint the cause. The first thing to do is figure out just why the manhood is itching so much. Sometimes there are obvious reasons.   For example, when a man has just undergone a thorough manscaping and shaved off or closely trimmed his groin hair, it's not at all unusual to experience a greater need to scratch. That's because the newly shorn skin is much more sensitive to stimuli; in addition, stray cut hairs may be hanging around, causing the itch. Jock itch is another popular cause of male organ itch, as are other forms of fungal infection or dermatological issues. The skin may be dry or flaky, or a rash may have formed. Sometimes critters are the cause of the problem. Pesky mosquitoes don't care where they bite. Groin lice also invite a scratch-fest. www.man1health.com

Night and day Most of these issues cause itching during the day as well as at night; however, the itching may be more pronounced at night, especially in bed. When the body relaxes from its busy day, a man may become more aware of the need to itch. Also, lying in bed, especially on one's side or stomach, may place pressure on the package that exacerbates the need to scratch.   But there are other reasons why an itch may be more bothersome at night. www.man1health.com

For men who shower early in the day, when nighttime rolls around, the male midsection has accumulated many hours' worth of sweat, dirt and bacteria, all of which encourage a scratching situation.   What one wears to bed can also have an impact. Guys who sleep bare are exposing their manhood skin to sheets, blankets and spreads that may have a higher itchiness factor than plain cotton underwear. By the same token, dudes who opt for gym shorts but no underwear are pitting the tool against a rougher-than-desired fabric, which can stimulate itchiness. www.man1health.com

Lots of men opt to exercise at home at night Lots of men opt to exercise at home at night. Working up a sweat is a good thing, but doing so before bed can increase the likelihood of an itchy member.   Finally, those who enjoy self-pleasuring before dropping off to sleep may not be as judicious about wiping away the release as they could be. The dried male seed may contribute to the itch factor. www.man1health.com

There are some easy steps to take to help decrease nighttime scratching. Wearing appropriate sleepwear is crucial. So is making sure the equipment is properly washed (with a gentle soap or cleanser), especially if one has been exercising or self-pleasuring. Men may want to consider moving their shower time to the evening, if for no other reason than to eliminate some of the grime they have accumulated during the day. www.man1health.com

It's also essential for a man to regularly apply a top-quality male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to help fight male organ itch and stop nighttime scratching. So often, dry or flaky skin is the culprit that causes that insufferable itch, so eliminating the dryness simply makes sense. And to do that, a crème with the high-end emollient Shea butter is one of the best possible options out there. With the skin properly hydrated, itchiness is far less likely. A crème with a potent antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid is also required. Antioxidants help to relieve oxidative stress, which has been shown to induce and worsen itching, so keeping harmful oxidation on the rod at bay can help to keep the itching away. Used properly, a top-notch male organ health crème can be a frontline defense against nighttime male organ itch. www.man1health.com
