What is the cause of the damp and smelly scrotum? Is your scrotum itchy?

For male friends, scrotal dampness is a very common disease, but many friends with scrotal dampness will have a bad smell, which makes many friends feel troubled, because the smell will spread all over the body, making many male friends lack confidence and feel very hurtful to their self-esteem. So what is the reason for scrotal dampness and bad smell? Why does scrotal dampness occur?

Why does the scrotum become wet?

Scrotal odor is more common in diseases such as prostatitis and scrotitis. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment, increase relevant examinations, clarify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Causes of scrotal wetness

External factors include living and working environment, external stimuli, tight underwear, etc.

People who are depressed and unhappy for a long time, smoke, drink and eat spicy food, like to eat fatty and greasy food, often stay up late, and do not take proper supplements are prone to damp-heat constitution. More and more modern people have damp-heat constitution in their living habits. The main problem of damp-heat constitution is the relative disorder of liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach functions, poor liver and gallbladder drainage function, and spleen deficiency with internal phlegm and dampness.

Chronic prostatitis, scrotal moisture and prostatitis are mainly caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by prostatitis. If prostatitis improves and heals, scrotal moisture will appear intermittently until it disappears. However, if chronic prostatitis is not treated or is incomplete, the moisture in the scrotum will not disappear.

Warm reminder: If the patient does not have prostatitis but finds that the testicles are moist, he should not be nervous and seek medical treatment everywhere, because scrotal moistness is not necessarily pathological. In daily life, just pay attention to keeping the local area clean and dry.

1. Obesity or overheated weather may cause sweating on the underwear and skin surface. The scrotum is kept damp and airtight for a long time, which accelerates the surface metabolism and causes bacteria to breed faster, resulting in odor.

2. Patients with urinary tract infection, prostatitis and foreskin usually have damp urethral openings because there are secretions and residual urine there, which causes the underwear to be damp and sometimes have a bad smell!

3. Ringworm is common in skin diseases such as ringworm and eczema. This is a common long-term underwear dampness! A humid environment is conducive to the growth of mold, and bacteria will produce odor!

Dangers of scrotal moisture

1. Grasping damage

The main symptom of testicular and scrotal eczema is painful itching.

2. Induce disease

High temperature and humidity are potential lesions that cause male prostatitis, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, and varicocele, and are more likely to cause potential risks of gynecological diseases to women who have reproductive contact with them.

3. Affects sperm and the quality of life of couples

Because the scrotum is damp and the heat from the testicles cannot dissipate, it affects the production of sperm, semen and male hormones in the testicles, and the quality of life of the couple will decline.

4. Scrotal dampness is closely related to prostatitis

Testicular dampness is one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis. It is also related to long-term sitting, working in a hot environment, and varicocele. If you are a prostatitis patient, scrotal dampness is related to prostatitis. Because scrotal dampness is caused by the autonomic nervous system disorder caused by prostatitis, as prostatitis improves and heals, scrotal dampness will also appear intermittently until it disappears.

However, if prostatitis is not treated properly or effectively, scrotal dampness will not disappear. Usually pay attention to a light diet, eat less raw and cold food, and eat less spicy and fishy food.
