Why do men's balls itch? There are 4 reasons

Men's testicles are important reproductive organs. Although men try their best to protect them, they always have various problems that catch men off guard. Recently, the most concerned topic among men is how to maintain men's testicles. In fact, men's testicles are itchy due to four reasons. Let's take a closer look!

(l) Physical labor. Especially in winter, people who engage in physical labor are prone to itching due to the dampness and poor ventilation of the genitals, the scrotal skin being stained by sweat, and the friction of underwear. Wearing too tight jeans or nylon underwear that is not absorbent and breathable may also cause this condition.

(2) Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency can lead to scrotitis. The scrotum may show changes such as erythema, dryness, scaling, papules and scabs, accompanied by itching. At the same time, angular cheilitis, glossitis and oral ulcers may also occur.

(3) Scrotal inflammation caused by fungi, such as candidal scrotal inflammation and tinea cruris involving the scrotum, can cause scrotal itching. Editor's recommendation: Protect your testicles while sleeping.

(4) Neurodermatitis and eczema in the scrotum will cause itching. General scrotal itching is not a sexually transmitted disease. As long as there is no history of sexual promiscuity, genital ulcers or growths, urethral discharge, etc., there is no need to worry about it.

People who suffer from scrotal itching should wear loose cotton underwear to keep the genitals ventilated and the scrotum dry. In addition, they should pay attention to local hygiene and wash the genitals every day. If the itching is obvious, do not scratch it with your hands or boil it with boiling water. When the scrotum becomes red, swollen, has a rash, or has broken skin, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

There are many causes of testicular prolapse

Orchitis

The testicles are located in the scrotum, one on each side. The testicles secrete male hormones, which play an important role in the development and maturation of male reproductive organs and the appearance of male secondary sexual characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the testicles will not be painful. Testicular pain indicates that the testicles are sick and need to be checked and treated in time. The following orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many causes of orchitis. For example, patients with mumps may have orchitis and testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is currently the most common sexually transmitted disease, and it can cause orchitis in severe cases. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, which manifests as unilateral pain, mostly dull pain or pulling pain, which is persistent. Most patients are young and strong, and it is rare in the elderly.

Testicular torsion

Testicular torsion is one of the common acute diseases in the scrotum. It can occur in newborns to 70-year-olds, and 65% occur between 12 and 19 years old. Generally, there is vigorous activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the testicles have been subjected to external force. Sudden severe testicular pain during sleep or quiet time is the first symptom of this disease and one of its main diagnostic bases. Some patients are accompanied by nausea and vomiting, scrotal swelling, and obvious tenderness. It is generally believed that the testicular rescue rate can reach 80% for those who treat testicular torsion within 6 hours, and the rescue rate is only 20% for those who treat it after 24 hours. At this time, even if the testicle can be preserved, the function of the affected testicle is often damaged.

Testicular injury

The testicles are more mobile in the scrotum and are protected by a tough white membrane, so the chance of closure injury is relatively small. Testicular injuries are mostly related to violence, car accidents, etc. After injury, the testicles are severely painful, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even fainting or shock. During physical examination, there are swollen testicles, unclear contours, or scrotal congestion, and obvious tenderness. B-ultrasound and CT not only help in the diagnosis of this disease, but also can clarify the location and scope of testicular injury. The treatment principles of testicular injury are first sedation, analgesia, and anti-shock, and secondly, to judge the degree of testicular injury, so as to take different treatment measures. Testicular ischemic pain

Testicular ischemic pain is more common in the elderly. The pain is more severe, aggravated by activity, and relieved by rest. Prostatic fluid microscopy is normal. It is often caused by sclerosis of the testicular artery, which leads to arterial stenosis. Testicular artery atherosclerosis is often a local manifestation of systemic vascular disease, mostly unilateral lesions, more common on the left side than on the right side.

How to keep your testicles healthy in the hot summer

In the hot summer, you should pay attention to cooling the testicles. The testicles are responsible for producing sperm and secreting male hormones, and are very important to men. Here is a detailed introduction for everyone.

In the hot summer, you should pay attention to cooling the testicles. Since the testicles have high temperature requirements, the scrotum is responsible for regulating the temperature of the testicles. When the testicle temperature is too low, the scrotal skin shrinks to prevent heat loss; when the testicles are overheated, the scrotal skin relaxes and dissipates heat.

Since the temperature regulation function of the scrotum has a certain limit, when the temperature changes beyond its regulation range, the physiological function of the testicles will inevitably be damaged.

Therefore, experts suggest that men should be kind to their testicles and avoid sitting on loose sofas for a long time, as this will affect the heat dissipation of the lower body.

In daily life, it is recommended that male friends wear loose pants to keep the lower body ventilated and dry, so that the testicles have a relaxed working environment and can exert their maximum physiological function.
