Which department should I go to for scrotal dampness?

Scrotal moisture is the most common disease of the scrotum and a common male reproductive organ disease in young men. However, it is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is also known as "scrotal wind". Patients often suffer from pain or secondary infection due to scratching. Scrotal moisture may be one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis. It is also related to long-term sitting, working in a hot environment, and varicose veins. It may also be scrotal eczema, which is mainly manifested by the scrotum being relatively wet and slightly itchy. So which part of the scrotum should be checked for scrotal moisture?

If you have a damp and cold scrotum, you should see a urologist. Urologists can tell whether the damp scrotum is caused by hydrocele, varicose veins, or prostatitis. Under normal circumstances, the scrotum is generally damp and cold, because there are many hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the scrotum, and the temperature of the scrotum can be adjusted by sweating. Therefore, the scrotum should be cleaned regularly and underwear should be changed frequently every day. After seeing a doctor, the doctor can tell whether there is hydrocele, varicose veins, etc. through examination. B-ultrasound examination of the scrotum and semen test should be performed to make a basic judgment. If there is such a symptom, treatment according to this symptom can improve the damp scrotum.

Four major causes of scrotal dampness

1. Long-term sitting: When sitting down, the thigh roots are close to the sides of the scrotum, which can easily cause scrotal moisture in summer or in a natural environment with high temperature.

2. Underwear factors: Underwear problems can cause scrotal moisture. For example: poor ventilation, small size, inferior raw materials causing skin allergies, etc.

3. Varicose veins of the scrotum: Varicose veins of the scrotum can cause the surface of the scrotum to swell, making the scrotum and the thigh root stick closer and closer, causing friction when standing and walking.

4. Caused by inflammation: When the urinary tract is inflamed, the pathogens will rise along the urethral opening to infect the scrotum, causing sweat accumulation, and the inflammation of the scrotum itself will not be eliminated.

According to the development trend of the disease, the whole process can be divided into three stages: acute symptoms, subacute symptoms, and onset period.

In subacute onset, symptoms include redness, itching, and papules on the scrotal skin. If the itching and rashes become more severe, the smooth, bright red skin may be exposed.

In acute cases, symptoms include severe itching of the scrotum, inability to adjust diet, sticky stools, yellow urine, and sometimes small blisters and slight erosion.

When the disease is chronic, the itching is intermittent, and itching is aggravated when you are nervous, anxious, drinking, or eating spicy food. The scrotal skin feels hard and the skin surface is dark red or purple-brown. If it is chronic prostatitis, you should actively take anti-inflammatory treatment.

What to do if your scrotum is wet

Scrotal dampness is not necessarily a psychological disorder, so if there is no other discomfort, just pay attention to local cleaning and drying. Usually pay attention to light food, eat less cold food, and eat less spicy food and fishy food. Usually, you should also pay attention to the maintenance of the scrotum. However, in general, scrotal dampness may be related to prostate disease. It is recommended that you actively take the initiative to do a male prostate examination to clarify the actual condition, pay attention to medication, and cultivate the following 3 good habits:

1. Get up early and go to bed early, get enough sleep

It is important to get up early and go to bed early to maintain adequate sleep. Excessive energy consumption will cause fatigue. Men tend to get up early and go to bed early. Maintaining adequate sleep can not only improve work and study interest, but also relieve stress in the brain and various systems of the human body, which is very good.

2. Drink plenty of water to cleanse your intestines and stomach and prevent getting angry easily

The body's daily water intake should reach 2000-2400ml, because the body's blood concentration is very high in the morning, which is prone to venous thrombosis, so men should drink more water. It can not only clean the intestines and stomach, but also prevent getting angry easily, which is a very good health secret.

3. Take fewer cool baths and avoid eating raw or cold food at night

People usually like to take a cold shower, which is not good. It absorbs a lot of heat under the sun. Cold showers will quickly close the pores of the skin, and the heat cannot be released and stays in the body, causing a high fever. It will also cause insufficient blood supply and dizziness due to the rapid contraction of the capillaries in the head, and in severe cases, it may even cause the risk of shock. The abdomen is easy to get cold and is not easy to digest food. Therefore, men should pay attention to not eating melons, oily vegetables, meat, noodles, raw and cold food, sticky food and other such foods at night.
