What is the disease of cold scrotum?

Scrotal dampness is mainly caused by the scrotal skin surface not undergoing significant changes, but symptoms such as sweating, dampness or chills appear. If you touch it hard, you can often touch an unknown liquid, and sometimes there is a unique smell. Scrotal dampness is a normal physiological phenomenon.

The best temperature for male testicles to grow and develop and ensure their spermatogenesis is 1-2℃ lower than the body. The scrotal skin has a relatively large area and abundant sebaceous glands and skin glands. This is to adjust and ensure that the testicular temperature is lower than the body temperature. Therefore, it expands in summer and contracts in winter. On the one hand, it dissipates heat through the skin surface. On the other hand, it dissipates heat through sweating. Therefore, the scrotum sweats and is cold, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

When sitting for a long time or wearing tight underwear with poor ventilation, it is difficult to dissipate heat through the skin surface, and the scrotum itself regulates the sebaceous glands to sweat to dissipate heat. This is necessary to adjust the temperature and is a defensive reaction. This situation is common in summer when people do not bathe frequently, wear chemical fiber underwear with poor ventilation, obesity or too little exercise.

Scrotal Dampness and Prostatitis

There is no definite connection between scrotal sweating, dampness and prostatitis. Some profit-oriented clinics or hospital clinics have artificially linked scrotal dampness with prostatitis, exaggerating the symptoms and prognosis of prostatitis, and complicating the treatment, which is undesirable. Scrotal dampness is one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis, but this does not mean that when there is scrotal dampness, there must be prostatitis.

If a person has prostatitis, scrotal moisture may be related to prostatitis. If scrotal moisture is caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by prostatitis, scrotal moisture will intermittently appear until it subsides as prostatitis improves and heals.

How to prevent scrotal moisture?

For non-psychological scrotal moisture, you can greatly avoid the occurrence of scrotal moisture by simply maintaining a stable lifestyle.

1. Pay attention to cleaning. Clean the scrotum regularly and in time to reduce inflammation.

2. Suitable underwear. Choose loose, breathable and absorbent underwear, preferably made of pure cotton.

3. Avoid long-term sitting. Moderate exercise and avoid long-term sitting can keep the blood in the scrotum unobstructed.

4. Lifestyle. Preventing high-aspect ratio anxiety and reducing the intake of raw, cold, irritating foods and ethanol can also help alleviate the symptoms of scrotal moisture.

But if scrotal dampness is caused by other primary diseases, the corresponding diseases should be treated with medicine. If it is caused by scrotal eczema, scrotal eczema should be treated.
