Why does the scrotum become damp and smelly?

In summer, I believe most men will encounter this problem: scrotal moisture and itching, which makes many male compatriots very embarrassed. So what causes it? What should we do about this situation?

What to do if the scrotum is damp and has a bad smell?

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene: When men have scrotal moisture and odor, they should first pay attention to personal hygiene and keep their reproductive organs clean and dry. Take a bath and change clothes frequently!

2. Pay attention to a light diet: Pay attention to eating less spicy and irritating foods, and eat less spicy and fishy foods. If you have bad habits of smoking and drinking, correct them in time!

3. Wear as loose as possible: The damp and odorous scrotum of men is closely related to the climate and clothing. Men should avoid wearing tight underwear and jeans. Wear loose cotton underwear as soon as possible and avoid staying in a high temperature environment for a long time!

4. Go to a regular hospital for examination in time: The dampness and odor of the scrotum may also be caused by prostatitis, urinary tract infection, eczema, and some sexually transmitted diseases, so it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination in time in the early stage to find out the cause and treat it accordingly!

What are the dangers of not treating scrotal dampness and itching?

1. Dampness and itching of the scrotum will cause the patient to scratch constantly, which can easily cause damage to the scrotal skin and cause inflammation and infection.

2. Testicular toxin accumulation causes testicular hardening and atrophy, and testicular nodules degenerate into testicular cancer.

3. The decline in testicular physiological function leads to a decrease in androgen secretion, which will eventually lead to a decrease in sexual desire, a decline in male function, or even a complete loss, affecting the relationship between husband and wife.

4. Failure of testicular spermatogenesis leads to oligospermia, azoospermia, and decreased sperm quality, which reduces the female pregnancy rate and thus male infertility.
