What is the reason for blood streaks on the scrotum?

The male scrotum is a very important organ, but some men may find some abnormalities in their scrotum in daily life, among which scrotal blood streaks are the most common. The occurrence of scrotal blood streaks is related to many factors, which may be physiological or pathological. However, it should be noted that no matter what causes this phenomenon, certain treatment measures need to be taken.

1. Anatomical factors:

1. The internal spermatic vein is long and enters the renal vein at a right angle, so blood flow is subject to a certain resistance. The left internal spermatic vein near the left renal vein has no valve, so blood can easily flow back.

2. Under normal conditions, the muscular fibrous tissue in the spermatic cord capsule can produce a pumping effect to promote venous return. When the above muscular fibrous tissue atrophies or relaxes, it is not conducive to venous return, causing varicocele.

Second: Physiological factors: The sexual function of young people is more vigorous, and the blood supply to the scrotal contents is abundant. Therefore, some varicocele may gradually disappear with age. In addition, standing for a long time and increasing abdominal pressure are also factors that cause the disease.

3. Other factors such as retroperitoneal lesions and hydronephrosis compress the internal spermatic vein and can cause symptomatic or secondary varicocele. The primary varicocele disappears quickly when lying down, while the secondary varicocele often does not disappear or disappears very slowly.

4. Some patients with varicocele will feel discomfort in the scrotum and other parts of the body, mainly manifested as a swollen feeling of the scrotum and testicles, a damp and cold scrotum, bloating, and dull pain. The uncomfortable feeling will often radiate to the perineum, groin, and waist on the same side, seriously affecting the patient's normal life.

5. A small number of people may also experience emotional instability, mental depression, and even sexual dysfunction such as decreased libido, decreased sexual pleasure, pain during intercourse, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

I believe that after the editor's introduction, everyone has roughly understood that most of the blood streaks in the scrotum are caused by varicocele. Varicose veins must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will have a certain adverse effect on male fertility. Of course, patients should not worry too much and need to build up confidence to overcome the disease.
