How to prevent scrotal swelling

1. Men should learn to examine their scrotum: the most important tissues in the scrotum are the testicles, epididymis and spermatic cord. When examining, pay attention to the following issues:

1) Check whether the testicles are enlarged, whether there is pain when lightly pressed, and whether there are any irregular lumps on the surface of the testicles.

2) When you touch the testicles, you may mistake the epididymis for a foreign body. The epididymis is a flat strip attached to the upper back of the testicles, about 5-6 cm long, with a swollen, blunt top called the epididymis caput. When checking, use your index finger and thumb to gently squeeze it, and pay attention to whether there are painful nodules caused by inflammation, soft and pulsating spermatoceles, or nodules and stasis in the epididymis caused by blockage of the vas deferens.

3) Touch upward along the testicle and you will feel the spermatic cord, which is a bundle of cord-like tissue located above the testicle. Gently twist it with your thumb and index finger and you can feel a hard tube like a thin linen rope, which is the vas deferens. When checking the spermatic cord, it is worth noting to feel whether the entire tube is smooth and whether there are clumps of earthworm-like substances in the middle. If you press lightly, it will feel smaller. If it feels uncomfortable but there are no obvious clumps, you can try to hold your breath and puff up your belly, which may make it clear. This is the dilated spermatic vein. Varicose vein is one of the main causes of male infertility.

4) If you find a lump, something else in your scrotum, or a large difference between the two sides during self-examination of your scrotum, you should immediately see a doctor for further examination. Do not delay treatment just because you do not feel any discomfort.

2. Scrotal skin injuries are common, such as scratches, abrasions, or bruises caused by zippers. Prevention tips: Take protective measures to avoid injuries as much as possible. If the scrotal skin is injured, bruises and blood swellings may occur. Even the scrotum may be torn and the testicles may be exposed on the surface. If treated correctly, scrotal skin wounds will heal quickly, so emergency treatment is not required. Consult a specialist only for larger wounds. If the skin is not torn, you can rest in bed and apply local cold compresses to relieve pain; if the scrotum is torn and the testicles are exposed on the surface, you need to inject tetanus antitoxin, perform local debridement, remove foreign objects, return the testicles, and use antibiotics to prevent reinfection; if the scrotal skin is completely torn off, surgery is required to reconstruct the scrotum.

3. The scrotum is relatively humid due to its special location and poor air circulation. In addition, the skin is mainly composed of a thin stratum corneum, with abundant blood vessels and nerves. It is often rubbed by clothes and pants, which makes it easy to develop many skin diseases: such as tinea cruris, scabies, scrotal pruritus, scrotal neurodermatitis, scrotal eczema, fixed drug eruption, etc. Prevention points: pay attention to personal hygiene habits, do not wear tight underwear, and use soft, breathable cotton cloth. Live a regular life and do not eat irritating foods. Common skin diseases of the scrotum, most of which are not difficult to treat as long as they are accurately diagnosed. For example, fixed drug eruption can be cured by stopping taking allergenic drugs.
