Very itchy testicles

[Guest Posts]

Hi there. For some time now my testicles have been very very itchy. I read online that if you have itchy genitals that it could be a sign of pancreatic cancer. I'm worried that I may have it. I was also diagnosed with bladder in 1996 and I have regular cyststopcopies to check if it is coming back. This is very worrying for me as I also had a stoma put in in 2018 my health is not brilliant. Please I hope you can reassure me about this. Thank you so much. David

It is good to hear you are having regular cystoscopies (camera tests into the bladder) to keep an eye on any signs of bladder cancer coming back. It must be difficult having so many health conditions to manage at the same time.

From what you have described it sounds like the skin around your testicles i.e. scrotal skin is quite itchy. There are a few possible common causes for this including skin problems, fungal infections etc. If you are worried and the problem persists it is best to see your GP in the first instance.
