Why are my balls always wet?

The testicles are very important organs for men. They are the only organs for men to exert their sexual abilities. Therefore, the testicles are very important for men. However, in modern life, due to the influence of various factors, the development of the reproductive organs of many men is affected. Among them, the influence of the testicles is the most obvious. For example, why are the testicles always wet?

Causes

1. Physiological factors

If the heat in the local environment of the scrotum cannot be dissipated in time, the local temperature will rise, accompanied by increased sweat secretion from the scrotal skin, which will cause the scrotum to feel damp. Physiological sweating, long-term sitting, working in a hot environment or wearing tight underwear are important inducing factors.

2. Pathological factors

Diseases such as chronic prostatitis, varicocele, and scrotal eczema may cause scrotal moisture.

When the scrotum is damp, the patient feels sweaty, sticky and uncomfortable in the scrotum. The perineum is in a damp environment for a long time, bacteria are easy to breed, which can easily lead to scrotal dermatitis, glansitis, etc. As the local temperature of the scrotum rises, the spermatogenic ability of the testicles and the maturation of sperm are affected, resulting in a decrease in the number of sperm and sperm motility, and even an increase in sperm deformities.

Check

A detailed medical history, a comprehensive physical examination (including a digital rectal examination), and routine urine and prostate massage fluid examinations are required. Imaging examinations can assist in the diagnosis.

Differential diagnosis

1. Chronic prostatitis

The most common symptoms are dysuria, perineal distension and pain, testicular distension and pain, lower abdominal and groin distension and pain, burning sensation under the anus, as well as frequent urination, urgency, a feeling of incomplete urination, and penile discomfort.

Most patients lack conscious symptoms. A few patients may experience scrotal swelling when standing, localized persistent or intermittent swelling pain, dull pain or blunt pain in the scrotum, which may radiate to the lower abdomen, groin area or lower back.

3. Scrotal eczema

There are two types: moist and dry. In moist scrotal eczema, the entire scrotal skin is swollen, dark red, with mild erosion, exudate, scab, and significant infiltration and hypertrophy.
