Is it better to have loose or tight testicles?

It is undoubtedly better to have a loose scrotum than a tight one, because when the scrotum is loose, the testicles are not easily contracted in the groin, and the temperature of the scrotum is lower, which can maintain the normal spermatogenesis of the testicles and prevent sperm abnormalities. A tight scrotum will fix the testicles in the groin, where the temperature is too high, which can easily cause abnormalities in the spermatogenesis of the testicles. The scrotum is more significantly affected by temperature. When it is cold, the scrotum will be tight; when it is hot, the scrotum will be looser. The key is the function of the levator testis. Whether the scrotum is loose or tight, as long as the testicles are in the scrotum, most of the impact is not significant.

The looseness of the scrotum is considered to be related to varicose veins. If this happens, it is recommended to go to the hospital for outpatient examinations immediately to confirm the diagnosis. You can do scrotal color Doppler ultrasound examination and varicose vein ultrasound examination. It is recommended to take Maizhiling, Duoyuanxing Shutong Pills and other medicines for diagnosing varicose veins. It can improve the patient's clinical manifestations. It is recommended to lift the scrotum with an air-filled scrotal support underwear; you can also use ice therapy to alleviate the patient's clinical manifestations, which is a good way to improve the patient's condition.

The scrotum is loose and the possible reasons for the looseness are: 1. The skin of the scrotum has a certain elasticity and can extend or contract appropriately according to the external temperature changes to adjust the temperature of the scrotal cavity. When the external environment is low, the scrotum is in a contracted state, causing the testicles to be close to the kidneys and maintaining the temperature of the scrotal cavity slightly higher than the external temperature. When the external temperature is high, the skin of the scrotum relaxes, causing the testicles to be away from the kidneys, and reducing the temperature in the scrotal cavity to achieve the effect of adjusting the temperature. If the temperature is hot, it is normal for the scrotum to sag and droop; or if it is exposed to a warm external environment, such as soaking in hot water, the scrotum skin may naturally sag and droop. This is not a highly pathogenic condition and does not require medical treatment.

2. When male testicular hydrocele, orchitis or varicose veins occur, the scrotal skin may become loose. Usually it is on one side, but if it occurs on both sides, the skin may become loose on both sides. This is because when the male testicles become infected and inflamed, the male testicles expand in volume and the net weight increases, which naturally causes the scrotal skin to become loose. When the infection recurs, the local skin temperature is high, which can also cause the scrotal skin to become loose, usually accompanied by testicular pain or the ability to touch the varicose veins in the scrotal cavity with force. This type of condition requires B-ultrasound examination, and anti-infection treatment is given after the diagnosis is confirmed. If there is varicose veins, surgical treatment is required.
