What is the problem of testicular dampness?

The male testicles are the key to the urinary system. If there is discomfort, it will immediately affect men's work and mood. Scrotal dampness refers to the abnormal symptoms of sweating, dampness or chills, etc., without obvious organic changes in the scrotal skin. Long-term dampness of the scrotum is very likely to cause inflammation and itching.

Common Diseases

Chronic prostatitis, varicose veins, scrotal eczema, etc.

Common symptoms

Scrotal skin that sweats easily, feels clammy or cold

Causes of scrotal dampness

1. Physiological factors

The heat in the local environment of the scrotum cannot be released immediately, which will cause the local temperature to rise immediately. At the same time, as the metabolism of scrotal skin sweat increases, the scrotum will feel damp and cold. Excessive physiological sweating, long-term sitting, working in a hot environment or wearing tight underwear are all important factors.

2. Pathological elements

Chronic prostatitis, varicose veins, scrotal eczema and other diseases may cause scrotal moisture.

Clinical symptoms of scrotal moistness

When the scrotum is damp, the patient feels that the scrotum is prone to sweating, stickiness and discomfort. The vulva is in a damp and cold environment for a long time, bacteria are easy to grow, which can easily cause scrotal dermatitis, glansitis, etc. Due to the increase in the temperature of the scrotum, the spermatogenic ability of the male testicles and the perfection of the male sperm are affected, which leads to a decrease in sperm density and sperm motility, and even an increase in abnormal sperm.

Scrotal wetness test

A detailed medical history, a comprehensive physical examination (including a digital rectal examination), and routine urine and semen examinations are required. Imaging diagnostic tests can assist in the diagnosis.

Scrotal Dampness Diagnosis

1. Chronic prostatitis

The most common symptoms are pain during urination, swelling and pain in the vulva, throbbing pain in the male testicles, swelling and pain in the lower abdomen and groin, burning sensation under the anus, frequent and urgent urination, inability to hold urine, feeling of continuous urination, and male genital discomfort.

2. Varicose vein

Most patients lack active symptoms. A very small number of patients may have testicular swelling when standing, persistent or intermittent scrotal pain, dull pain or dull pain, which may radiate to the lower abdomen, groin or lower back.

3. Scrotal eczema

There are two types: moist and cold type and dry type. In moist and cold type scrotal eczema, the entire scrotal skin is swollen, dark red, with slight erosion, exudate, scarring and obvious intrusion and hypertrophy.
