Did you know that scrotal moisture is a potential cause of varicocele?

As the weather changes, many men find that their scrotum always feels strange, wet and uncomfortable. So is a wet scrotum normal? A wet scrotum can also cause varicocele. What's going on?

First, distinguish whether the scrotal dampness is a disease or not

The optimum temperature for male testicles to produce sperm is 35°C. If the temperature is too high, sperm production will be impaired or even stop completely. Therefore, male scrotal moisture is an important part of ensuring fertility. The phenomenon of scrotal moisture is an inevitable natural law. However, it is important to note that in some cases, scrotal moisture is also a sign of disease!

The scrotal skin has many wrinkles and sweat glands, which secrete a lot of sweat and make it difficult for air to circulate. If you do not pay attention to hygiene and wear tight underwear for a long time, the scrotal moisture will be aggravated. In addition, scrotal moisture is related to long-term sitting without exercise, working in a humid and hot environment, and varicocele. At the same time, scrotal moisture is also one of the symptoms of diseases such as scrotal eczema and chronic prostatitis.

Male friends must first distinguish whether scrotal moisture is a normal physiological phenomenon or a manifestation of diseases such as scrotal eczema. It is recommended to go to a professional urology department for examination in time to avoid delaying treatment.

Recognize the dangers and improve scrotal moisture scientifically

Scrotal moisture makes the testicles and scrotum stick together for a long time, becoming a hotbed for bacterial reproduction. High temperature and humidity are potential causes of male prostatitis, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, varicocele, and scrotal eczema. It is also easy to bring gynecological diseases to the spouse. Is there any way to improve scrotal moisture?

The simplest and most direct method is to wear breathable, pure cotton underwear to keep the scrotum breathable and dry. If the scrotum is damp due to the prostate, varicocele, or scrotal eczema, you should go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, and receive symptomatic treatment according to the situation.

In addition, developing a habit of bathing or washing the scrotum every day, not wearing tight pants, especially synthetic underwear, drinking less alcohol and eating less spicy food can reduce the dilation of blood vessels in the scrotal skin and increase sweating, thereby improving the condition of scrotal moisture.

Scrotal eczema is extremely itchy and tends to recur

Scrotal eczema is the most common skin disease of the scrotum and a common skin disease of the male genital organs. However, it is not a sexually transmitted disease. It can occur at any age, but most often in young people, and the incidence rate is highest in summer. Once it occurs, the affected area will be extremely itchy, and papules and erosions will also appear. The main symptom of scrotal eczema is the painful itching, especially in a hot and humid environment!

Many people cannot stand scratching with their hands, which can easily cause skin injury and thickening. This vicious cycle can eventually affect the secretion of testosterone and even cause varicocele and infertility. Scrotal eczema often develops to the entire scrotum. It is not only extremely itchy, but also prone to recurrence, bringing great pain and inconvenience to patients.
