What happens if there are yellow stains on men's underwear?

Yellow stains on men's underwear may be caused by secretion contamination. Because the increase in male penis secretions will form urine stains on the underwear, and factors such as excessive hemobilirubin or scrotal moisture will also cause yellowing of the trousers. Therefore, men should pay attention to the hygiene of the penis to avoid inflammation. There are many factors that cause yellow stains on men's underwear. Men can learn about the content introduced in this article.

What causes yellowing of the crotch of men’s underwear?

01 Secretion contamination

After men reach puberty, their endocrine system becomes active, and the sweat glands in their crotch and the secretions of their penis increase greatly. As a result, when they put on their underwear, a mixture of urine (residues), sweat and penis secretions (secretions of sexual excitement and residual semen) is formed.

02High hemoglobin

Any cause that leads to an increase in hemobilirubin can cause an increase in the xanthochromia content in secretions and sweat, leaving yellow marks on underwear.

03Scrotum is too wet

Chinese medicine says that it is too much dampness. Some men's underwear is always damp, which may be scrotal eczema. It manifests as the scrotum area always being damp and slightly itchy.

① During an acute attack, the symptoms are mostly redness, itching, and papules on the scrotal skin. If the itching is severe, smooth red skin can be exposed.

② During subacute attacks, symptoms include severe itching of the scrotum, loss of appetite, loose stools, yellow urine, and sometimes blisters and mild erosion.

③ During chronic attacks, itching occurs intermittently. Itching worsens when one is nervous, drinks alcohol, or eats spicy food. The skin of the scrotum feels hard, and the surface color of the skin is dark red or purple-brown. This disease is a skin disease and also a men's disease. People who are obese and have localized sweating are more likely to suffer from this disease, and most of the patients are middle-aged and elderly males.

04 Genital infection

Reproductive infections are also called sexually transmitted diseases. The more common reproductive infections include gonorrhea, syphilis, non-gonococcal urethritis, condyloma acuminatum, Chlamydia trachomatis, chancroid, genital herpes, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B and AIDS.

What should I do if the crotch of a man’s underwear turns yellow?

1. People with allergies, chronic mental tension, and mood swings should relax.

2. People with certain diseases, such as chronic digestive system diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders, are also prone to yellowing of underwear under the influence of external factors. See a doctor in time and receive treatment as soon as possible.

3. The living and working environment is humid and the air humidity is relatively high, which can easily make men's lower body damp and cause their underwear to turn yellow. You need to improve your working and living environment and get more sun exposure.

4. External stimuli, cold or heat, excessive sweating, excessive scratching, tight underwear, friction with foreign objects, wearing synthetic underwear, etc. can all induce scrotal eczema, which can cause men's underwear to turn yellow. Everyone must be vigilant about these problems.

A pair of dirty underwear carries an average of 0.1 grams of feces. Synthetic fiber underwear will inhibit sperm production, so it is best to change men's underwear every six months, and the longest interval between changing underwear should not exceed 2-3 days. After washing, do not expose it directly to the sun. First put it in a cool place to air dry, and then put it in the sun to disinfect. Loose underwear is more in line with men's health needs.
