What is the cause of scrotal odor?

In the hot summer, do many men often find that their scrotum is moist, inflamed and has a strange smell? This situation has happened to most people. Generally, scrotal moisture refers to the surface of the scrotal skin. There is no change but a lot of sweating, and there is often a damp and cool feeling. In this case, you should consider whether you have chronic prostatitis. In addition, some people also have a strange smell in the scrotum. So what is the matter with the strange smell in the scrotum?

Scrotal dampness refers to abnormal sensations such as sweating, dampness or coolness without any changes on the scrotal skin surface. Scrotal dampness is one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis, and is also related to long-term sitting, working in a hot environment and varicocele.

If you have scrotal moisture, you need to check and find out if there are other reasons unless you have prostatitis. If you are treating prostatitis, you don’t have to worry, because scrotal moisture is caused by the autonomic nervous system disorder caused by prostatitis. As prostatitis improves and heals, scrotal moisture will appear intermittently until it disappears.

However, if prostatitis is not treated properly or thoroughly, scrotal dampness will not disappear. Scrotal eczema is characterized by the scrotal area being always damp and slightly itchy.

According to the development process of the disease, it can be divided into three stages: acute stage, subacute stage and chronic stage. In acute attacks, the symptoms are mostly redness, itching and papules on the scrotal skin. If the itching is severe, smooth red skin can be exposed.

In subacute attacks, the symptoms are severe itching of the scrotum, loss of appetite, loose stools, yellow urine, and sometimes blisters and mild erosion. In chronic attacks, the itching is intermittent, and it is aggravated by mental tension, drinking, and eating spicy food. The scrotal skin feels hard and the skin surface is dark red or purple-brown. This disease is a skin disease and a male disease.

People who are fat and have excessive sweating are more likely to suffer from this disease, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly male patients. Therefore, scrotal eczema and scrotal dampness are two completely different disease manifestations, and their treatments are also completely different. Why do we say that many male reproductive organs, scrotal dampness, itching and odor are caused by prostatitis? Because prostatitis is the most common disease among men (especially those with long foreskin or masturbation habits have the highest incidence rate).

It accounts for about 1/3-1/2 of male outpatients. It is clinically divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis, of which chronic prostatitis is the most common.

The so-called prostatitis and genital inflammation can cause scrotal odor and a damp feeling. The scrotum sweats a lot, and if you don't pay attention to cleaning the area around the scrotum, it will cause accidents due to moisture. You should clean your scrotum every day, and use disinfectant and anti-inflammatory drugs to clean or sit in a bath. If you persist, you can eliminate the scrotal odor.
