Why do men have damp scrotum at night?

Some male friends find their scrotum damp when they sleep at night, and they worry that they have some disease. In fact, such symptoms are mostly related to physical weakness, such as spleen deficiency and dampness, damp heat in the lower part of the body, acquired disorders, etc.

1. Spleen deficiency and dampness

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the first type is what we call spleen deficiency and dampness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that human body's water metabolism is mainly through three organs, the first is the lung, the second is the spleen, and the third is the kidney. Some people with spleen deficiency, because the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, traditional Chinese medicine says that the function of the spleen is to manage digestion and absorption. After people eat, food and water are transported to various parts of the body through the spleen. There are congenital aspects, such as the genes of parents, and the spleen function is a little weak.

2. Acquired disorders

The second type is acquired disorders, such as poor health, frequent illnesses, poor diet, or other reasons. When the spleen function is not good, the transportation and transformation function is not good, and it cannot penetrate (we say that the spleen can penetrate). Water and moisture cannot be transported and transformed, and some of it goes through the intestines. People with spleen deficiency often have loose stools, and people with spleen deficiency are prone to moisture in the scrotum, etc. These are all caused by poor water and moisture transportation and spleen deficiency.

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

The third is dampness and heat in the lower part of the body, which may be caused by dysfunction of the internal organs, natural climate, unclean diet, or inability to adjust the diet. For example, people who like to drink alcohol or eat spicy food often have dampness and heat. When they stick out their tongue, their tongue coating is particularly thick and sticky, and their urine is yellow and sticky. This often causes dampness in the scrotum. It is related to his diet and of course the climate. If it is often rainy and damp and hot, and the spleen is weak, the scrotum will be even more damp.
