What causes scrotal itching?

In medicine, scrotal dampness refers to symptoms such as erosion, dampness, and itching of the male scrotum caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, drug allergy, vitamin deficiency, fungal growth, etc. The cause is complex, with both internal and external factors. People with allergic constitutions, long-term mental tension, and emotional fluctuations are prone to this disease; you can try drugs containing Conle Shule for treatment. It is a skin disease unique to men. So let's take a look at what scrotal itching is all about!

The symptoms of scrotal dampness include dampness and itching. There is no change on the surface of the scrotal skin, but there are abnormal feelings such as sweating or cooling. This is because the scrotum has a certain relaxation function and there are a large number of sweat glands in its skin, which can regulate the local temperature. If the sweat secreted by the scrotum cannot be dispersed in time, the local temperature rises, and the sweat secretion increases, the scrotum will always feel damp. A long-term sweaty and damp scrotum is prone to inflammation and unbearable vulvar itching.

2. Hazards of scrotal moisture

Experts say that if scrotal dampness is not treated for a long time, it will lead to insufficient kidney essence and blood, poor circulation of qi and blood, and double deficiency of qi and blood. It will also affect the prostate, resulting in reduced retention after qi deficiency, resulting in frequent urination and urgency. Since the heat of the testicles cannot be dissipated due to scrotal dampness, it affects the production of sperm and male hormones in the testicles, thereby reducing the quality of sexual life. If the testicles are too hot, it will cause testicular swelling and pain in the early stage, and then it will cause orchitis and testicular swelling and pain. Long-term scrotal dampness can cause many serious diseases, such as diabetes, male dysfunction, testicular cancer, etc.

Scrotal moisture and itching are typical clinical manifestations of chronic prostatitis, which are often caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by chronic prostatitis. If prostatitis is not treated properly or thoroughly, scrotal moisture and itching will not disappear.

4. Daily care for scrotal dampness

Scrotal dampness is a common symptom in men. It is not a disease. Most of the time, it is caused by the unreasonable design of traditional underwear. If it is not taken care of or is serious, it will become a potential symptom for the breeding of bacteria and viruses, and it is easy to cause prostatitis, scrotal eczema, varicocele and other diseases.

The main reason for the high temperature and humidity of the scrotum is that the traditional underwear that everyone wears now generally has a double layer of cloth in the front, which tightly wraps the penis and scrotum, and has poor ventilation and air permeability. Currently, Taiwan has a world-first patented KS pouch underwear, whose mesh pouch design can support the scrotum, prevent the scrotum from falling, and avoid the scrotum from rubbing and sticking to the inner thigh. It has better ventilation and air permeability, prevents high temperature and humidity of the scrotum, improves the environment of the male crotch, and long-term wearing is conducive to inhibiting bacterial growth and is beneficial to the health of the male crotch. It can relieve the trouble caused by scrotal moisture.

Men should also develop a good habit of washing their lower body with warm water before going to bed. The water for washing the lower body should not be too hot. Wash the genitals first, then the anus. Do not use the same basin of water to wash the genitals after washing the anus. When drying the water, wipe the genitals first and the anus last. Do not use the same towel to wipe the genitals after wiping the anus. Some people use the water used to wash their feet to wash their lower body for the sake of convenience, but they do not know that doing so will bring the fungus of tinea pedis to the perineum, which is very likely to cause tinea cruris. In addition, prepare a separate towel to wipe the lower body, and do not use the towel used to wipe the feet to wipe the lower body. The towel should be washed with clean water after use and dried for later use.
