Why does the scrotum remain in a state of contraction for a long time?

The scrotum is particularly important for men. The scrotum can regulate the temperature of the testicles. The scrotum will usually expand or contract according to the environment. However, under normal circumstances, the scrotum is not always in a contracted state. Once the scrotum is found to be in a contracted state for a long time, it needs to be taken seriously. Most of the time, the scrotum has a disease. Go to the hospital in time to check the cause, and then actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.

What happens if the scrotum is in a state of contraction for a long time?

1. Long-term chronic inflammation stimulation. Chronic scrotitis or epididymitis stimulation can cause scrotal contraction and long-term contraction.

2. After testicular atrophy or orchiectomy, the stimulation of the testicles on the scrotum is reduced, which will cause the scrotum to atrophy and thus be in a contracted state.

What is scrotal atrophy?

First of all, testicular atrophy refers to the shrinkage and flaccidity of male testicles, which is also called sperm atrophy. Single and bilateral testicular atrophy can cause infertility in most cases. It is mostly caused by mumps or trauma. It is also congenital, mostly caused by kidney deficiency or pathogenic damage. Congenital testicular dysplasia is not easy to cure, and secondary testicular atrophy needs patient treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment can sometimes achieve certain results. The occurrence and development of testicles are the same as those of body organs. There is a process from occurrence and development to maturity to gradual decline with age.

Testicular atrophy is one of the stages of testicular maturation, but it may be caused by testicular dysplasia or other external factors. Patients with testicular atrophy may clinically have atrophy of one or both testicles, which are small and soft, sometimes hard in texture and slightly bloated and painful. In addition, patients may also have varying degrees of incomplete development of secondary sexual characteristics, breast development, delayed puberty, and even male feminization. Currently, the internationally used testicular volume meter is commonly used to measure testicular volume.

What causes scrotal dampness?

Generally speaking, scrotal moisture is one of the more common male diseases in clinical practice. It usually does not cause a big disease reaction, but it still has a certain impact on the patient himself. It is generally believed that there are two reasons for scrotal moisture. One is physiological. For example, sitting for a long time in daily life or wearing underwear that is too tight or not loose enough, which does not achieve a good heat dissipation effect, this may lead to scrotal moisture.

The other situation is pathological, for example, when the patient suffers from prostatitis or epididymitis, etc., this will have a certain impact on the body's heat dissipation mechanism, and the scrotum will also become damp accordingly. Therefore, for patients with scrotal dampness, it is necessary to clarify the cause of their own disease and cooperate with doctors for treatment in time.
