Why do I feel my testicles are cold?

In fact, the temperature of the testicles is generally 2 to 4 degrees lower than the normal body temperature, which is more conducive to the production of sperm. If you always feel that your testicles are cold, you should pay attention to whether it is caused by insufficient kidney yang or cold semen.

1. The testicles are sensitive to temperature. The suitable temperature for testicles to produce sperm is 32-36 degrees Celsius, which is 2-4 degrees lower than the normal human body temperature. The scrotum is located at the bottom of the body, with many skin wrinkles and strong heat dissipation ability. The skin wrinkles of the scrotum properly bear the "heavy responsibility" of air conditioning heat dissipation and heating. It is extremely sensitive to external temperature changes. When the temperature drops, the smooth muscle and levator testis muscle in the scrotum contract. , which makes the testicles rise and the scrotum quickly shrinks or folds densely, which is conducive to heat preservation; when the temperature rises, the smooth muscle and testicular organ stretch to the maximum, making the testicles descend and away from the body, the scrotal skin loosens, the fold density decreases, and the heat dissipation area is increased, which is conducive to heat dissipation. It is through this regulatory effect that the internal temperature of the scrotum is 1.5~2℃ lower than that of the abdominal cavity, which is conducive to the growth and development of sperm.

2. Under normal circumstances, the scrotum is 1-2 degrees lower than the body temperature, which is beneficial to spermatogenesis and the protection of sperm vitality.

3. There are many possible pathological reasons for testicular coldness, such as: insufficient kidney yang, cold semen, clinical manifestations: semen does not liquefy, or does not liquefy completely, with clots or jelly-like masses; scrotum and testicles are cool or cold; waist and knees are sore, and the patient is afraid of cold and has cold limbs. If there are other discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination in time.
