What causes scrotal and penis moisture?

Some male friends find that their scrotum and penis are damp in daily life, and they worry about some diseases. In fact, this situation is very common, and it is necessary to check whether the cause is pathological or physical. Physical causes are normal and are mainly affected by temperature. You can change to some breathable underwear.

1. Excessive spleen dampness

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, part of the reason for male scrotal moisture is due to excessive spleen dampness. Our body's water metabolism is mainly through three internal organs, the first is the lung, the second is the spleen, and the third is the kidney. Some men with scrotal moisture have spleen obstruction, which results in food and water not being properly transported to various parts of the body.

There are many reasons for spleen dampness, including congenital and acquired reasons. The congenital reason is inherited from parents, and the spleen function is weak. Another reason is acquired, such as poor health, frequent illness, etc. These reasons will lead to severe spleen dampness. When the spleen function is not good, the transportation and transformation function is not good, which affects the spleen's water and moisture transportation function. This is why people with spleen dampness often have loose stools. Some people with spleen deficiency are prone to dampness in the scrotum, which is caused by poor water and moisture transportation and spleen deficiency.

2. Dampness and heat in the lower part of the body

As for the problem of scrotal dampness, damp heat in the lower part of the body is also one of the causes, and this situation is caused by natural climate and unclean diet. For example, people who like to drink and eat spicy food often have particularly large damp heat, stick out their tongue, have thick and greasy fur, sticky yellow urine, and also have scrotal dampness.

In addition to dietary reasons, it is of course related to climate. If it is often rainy, humid and hot, the scrotum of people with spleen deficiency will be even more moist.

3. Chronic prostatitis

You may not know that one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis is scrotal dampness. In addition, it is also closely related to long-term sitting and working in an overheated environment. If you are a prostatitis patient, scrotal dampness is related to prostatitis. This is because the scrotal skin has many wrinkles, many sweat glands, strong secretion, and air circulation is not easy. Wearing tight underwear such as synthetic fiber will make the ventilation situation worse.

4. Not breathable

One of the reasons for scrotal moisture is tight underwear. If the scrotum is in a closed environment for a long time, it will inevitably lead to scrotal moisture. In fact, the scrotum itself has a certain ability to expand and contract. Its skin contains a large number of sweat glands, which can regulate local temperature and maintain balance. However, if the sweat secreted cannot be dissipated in time, the scrotum will become damp and cold.
