What is the problem of scrotal dampness?

Scrotal eczema is a common health problem for men. If it persists for a long time and cannot be treated properly, it may cause other diseases and even affect normal pregnancy. What are the problems with scrotal eczema? This is a male disease. It is recommended to go to the hospital for proper examination and treatment. Of course, many people are also curious about how scrotal eczema is caused. See the detailed introduction.

What are the causes of scrotal moisture?

1. Physiological factors. Men have scrotal moisture and high local temperature, which leads to increased sweat metabolism, and then this kind of damp and cold feeling will occur. This is the main cause of scrotal moisture caused by physiological factors, including long-term sitting, wearing too thick clothes on the lower body resulting in poor heat dissipation and physiological sweating, as well as a relatively hot working and learning environment, too tight underwear resulting in poor heat dissipation, etc.

2. Physiological factors. Physiological factors are also the key cause of scrotal dampness, such as varicose veins, chronic prostatitis, scrotal eczema, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, etc. These pathological causes can also cause dampness and coldness in the scrotum.

3. In addition, even if physiological factors can be eliminated, the scrotal moisture caused by physiological factors needs to be changed in daily life. You should always do a good job of daily local cleaning and wash your underwear frequently, especially the underwear should not be too tight, and avoid excessive local temperature. If you cannot dissipate heat well, long-term scrotal moisture will also become a breeding ground for bacteria, so it is easy to cause physiological scrotal moisture.

What to do if a man has a wet scrotum

1. Choose loose and breathable underwear

Try to choose loose and pure cotton underwear, which is good for ventilation and prevents scrotal moisture caused by friction. In addition, underwear should be washed frequently, especially after exercise, and put in the sun to disinfect. When it itches, choose a regular hospital for active treatment. Do not scratch or rub it immediately to avoid skin rupture and erosion, which will increase the difficulty of treatment.

2. Apply talcum powder

Before going to bed every night, clean the part with cold water at a temperature of about 30-40℃, especially carefully clean the dirt in the scrotum crevice, and apply breathable powder appropriately to keep it dry. During this period, correct bad habits in time, maintain a regular work and rest schedule, reduce staying up late, and avoid smoking and drinking.

3. Do not use drugs indiscriminately

Do not blindly use anti-itching drugs because of scrotal moisture and itching. They can indeed relieve itching in the early stage, but the itching will intensify once the drugs are stopped. Anti-itching ointments contain growth hormones. If used for a long time, it will reduce the sensitivity to the drugs and even cause growth hormone-dependent dermatitis. For mild cases, you can follow the doctor's instructions to take antihistamines orally. For severe cases, you can use plasters containing a small amount of growth hormone for a short period of time. In addition, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude is conducive to the recovery and treatment of the disease. If you are too nervous, it will aggravate the disease. You can sign up for more outdoor activities to relieve the tension and cooperate closely with the doctor's treatment.

4. Actively treat the primary disease

When you suffer from chronic prostatitis, the scrotum will be moist. Because the scrotum skin has many wrinkles and sebaceous glands, when it is irritated by inflammation, it will produce a lot of secretions. If the air is not circulated, it will cause scrotum moistness. Therefore, you should actively treat chronic prostatitis and avoid local inflammatory stimulation. In addition, you should adjust your diet during the period, avoid eating spicy food and fishy food, so as not to damage the stomach and intestines and aggravate scrotum moistness. Maintain a light diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and effectively supplement vitamins and minerals.

If the scrotal moisture is caused by male prostate diseases or dermatosis, medication should be used for treatment. Under the specific guidance of a doctor, oral antihistamines should be taken to keep the area clean and dry. Actively lose weight to avoid excessive obesity and excessive tight underwear.
