The scrotal skin is tight and does not sag

The testicles are a very important organ for every male friend, so many male friends are very worried about whether their testicles are in a healthy state. So in daily life, how can men judge the health of their testicles?

How to judge the physical and mental health of male testicles

The key to judging whether the testicles are normal is to check by touch. When checking, you should stand up and the temperature should be appropriate, not too low, otherwise the contraction of the scrotum and levator testis will cause the testicles to rise and be difficult to touch clearly.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the appearance. Normally, it is oval in shape, with a small bulge on the upper back of the testicle, which is the epididymal cyst, which is connected to the ejaculatory duct. The surface is flat, smooth, and has a slippery feel. It is easy to fall out of the hand after holding it. The color is medium-strength, elastic, and there is slight pain and soreness when squeezing it with a little force. The testicles on both sides may not be the same size, but the difference is not big.

It can be accurately measured by comparative analysis. Forcefully squeeze the testicles into the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum to display the testicular outline, then use potatoes, carrots or colored clay to cut or knead a small elliptical piece of the same size as your own testicles. First, fill a precise measuring cylinder with a certain amount of water, then put a small piece into the water to immerse it. The volume that rises after the water level rises is the volume of the testicles. Some hospitals now have a kind of male testicular precision measuring unit for accurately measuring male testicular volume. These are male testicular-shaped lumps of different sizes, numbered 1 to 25 according to their sizes. The precision measuring units of different sizes are compared with male testicles, and the one with similar volume is the male testicular volume.

When touching, you should also pay attention to whether there is one testicle in both scrotums, whether there is occult testis or polytestis (polytestis is extremely rare), and whether there is hydrocele. Sometimes hydrocele is mistakenly thought to be an empty testicle. If you encounter the above situation, you should also ask a doctor to check it out, and don't draw conclusions on your own.

What are the standards for male testicles? If you find that the surface of male testicles is not smooth and uneven, or the color is firm, too soft, or there are lumps in some parts, or there is obvious pain when the whole testicle is pressed, or there is obvious dull pain at the location of the lump, or there is very little sensation when touching, or even numbness, these are all abnormal conditions and you should see a doctor.

Testicular cancer is not common, accounting for only 1% of all cancers. However, according to statistics from the American Cancer Society, young men aged 15-35 are most reluctant to go to the hospital and are even less willing to talk about their testicular problems. Therefore, young men in this age group are at the greatest risk of testicular cancer. In recent decades, the number of patients has been increasing worldwide. In foreign countries alone, the number of testicular cancer patients has increased by 25% in the past 20 years.

At present, the cause of testicular cancer is still unclear. Some authoritative experts believe that it is related to excessive intake of dairy products, especially cheese. There are also scientific studies that believe that it is related to smoking, HIV virus and a family history of breast cancer. Fortunately, although testicular cancer usually takes only three months from the onset of symptoms to the spread of lymph nodes, it can be cured if it is discovered in time.

How can men check their testicular health? Authoritative experts suggest that young men aged 15-35 should conduct personal examinations every month. The best time to check is when taking a bath or shower. The specific method is to put the thumb on the top and the ring finger and middle thumb on the bottom. Use the thumb and ring finger to gently rotate the testicles. If there is an abnormal, lentil-sized, painless lump, you must see a doctor immediately. In addition, testicular cancer also has some warning symptoms, such as long-term back pain or lower abdominal pain, unexplained swelling of the testicles, thick scrotum, fluid accumulation in the testicles, loose breasts, etc.

How to treat tight and loose scrotal skin

If the scrotal skin is tight and not loose, it may be a wandering testicle. Because the male scrotum is to adjust the temperature of the testicles, in order to protect the testicles and prevent the testicles from being heated, the scrotum must be loose, so that the testicles are 1-2 degrees lower than the body temperature, which is conducive to the normal production of sperm by the testicles. If the scrotum is tight and not loose, the testicles are at a higher temperature, which affects the spermatogenesis of the testicles. It is necessary to check the testicular veins with ultrasound as soon as possible to determine whether there is a wandering testicle. If so, surgery is required to fix the testicles in the scrotum so that the scrotum and testicles can relax when heated.
