Causes of Dampness and Itching in the Crotch

Men sometimes find that their groin is damp and they think it is caused by sweating due to excessive heat. In fact, the dampness of the groin is caused by the well-developed sweat glands of the scrotum and its hidden and airtight location. The dampness of the scrotum provides a good place for bacteria to grow and can cause many diseases. So, what is the cause of damp and itchy groin? What are the treatments? Let's take a look.

Scrotal dampness refers to symptoms such as erosion, dampness, itching, and coldness of the male scrotum caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, drug allergy, vitamin deficiency, fungal growth, etc. It is a skin disease unique to men. This disease belongs to damp heat in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern medicine has classified scrotal dampness and itching as a precursor to prostatitis, which is a typical clinical manifestation of chronic prostatitis.

What harm does scrotal moisture bring to men's health?

1. Affects sperm and sex life quality

Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the testicles is 2-3 degrees lower than the body temperature. Due to the dampness of the scrotum, the heat of the testicles cannot be dissipated, which affects the production of sperm and semen hormones in the testicles, resulting in a decline in the quality of sexual life. If the testicles are too hot, it will cause testicular swelling and pain in the early stage, and then it will cause orchitis and testicular swelling and pain.

2. Induce disease

Long-term scrotal moisture can cause many serious diseases, such as prostatitis, diabetes, male dysfunction, testicular cancer, etc. Therefore, patients must pay enough attention and receive correct and standardized treatment.

Methods/Steps

1. Wear loose cotton underwear that is well-ventilated. To solve the problem of scrotal moisture, you must first ensure that the scrotum area has a good ventilation environment. Loose cotton underwear can absorb the sweat discharged.

2. Walk more and sit less. If you sit for a long time, a lot of sweat will accumulate not only in the scrotum area, but also in the buttocks area. Therefore, if you have symptoms of scrotal moisture, you should get up and walk around every 40 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Eat less spicy and cold food. Spicy and cold food are highly irritating and can promote sweat glands to sweat. Therefore, if men often have symptoms of scrotal moisture, they should eat less spicy and cold food.

4. Develop a good habit of cleaning your scrotum every day. Most men tend to neglect cleaning their scrotum, which causes a lot of dirt to accumulate on the scrotum surface, blocking the normal heat discharge of the scrotum, resulting in symptoms of excessive sweating.

5. Nutritional supplements should be taken in moderation. Scrotal moisture often occurs in obese people, who are overnourished. Excessive nutrition and excessive calories will also increase scrotal sweating and cause scrotal moisture.

The above article introduces the causes of crotal dampness and itching in detail, as well as the relevant treatment methods for crotal dampness and itching. I believe everyone has already understood it. When scrotal dampness occurs, you should subjectively judge whether it is a symptom caused by other diseases. If there are other complications, you should see a doctor in time to avoid other more serious consequences. You must take it seriously.
