What to do if a man's genitals are wet

Male friends must not ignore it once they feel their genitals are wet, because nowadays there are more and more male diseases. If they are not treated in time, their symptoms will become more serious, and even cause some inflammatory changes. The most common one is epididymitis. The incidence of this disease is quite high, and it takes a long time to treat after it occurs.

Epididymitis

Causes and consequences: The epididymis is located around the posterior edge of the testicles, where sperm is temporarily stored after production. Epididymitis is common in people around 30 years old, mostly due to bacterial infection of the urinary tract that has not healed, causing the bacteria to enter the epididymis through the lumen of the vas deferens. It often occurs with posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. The site can be unilateral or bilateral, and the onset time can be acute or slow.

Your examination: The entire scrotum is red, swollen, hot and painful, sensitive to touch, and burning when urinating. The scrotum is painful when it is still, but the symptoms are relieved when lying on your back.

Doctor's treatment: Prescribe antibiotics to relieve acute pain. Then apply cold compresses to the testicles and raise them at the same time, you can put a rolled up sock or medical gauze underneath. If you don't know how to put it on yourself, you can wear a fixed briefs-it can also reduce the discomfort and swelling of the spermatic cord. To prevent recurrence: Although men are much less likely to get urinary tract infections than women, once they occur, the consequences can be serious. If you already have a burning sensation when urinating, you must see a doctor immediately.

Orchitis

Causes and consequences: Most cases are caused by direct spread of epididymitis to the testicles, which is caused by bacteria. Acute orchitis in children is usually caused by the mumps virus.

Your examination: Similar to epididymitis, but the testicular redness and heat are not so obvious and strong. You can clearly see that one or both testicles are enlarged and painful to press, and the scrotal skin is also obviously red and swollen, and feels hot to the touch.

Doctors' treatment: Since severe orchitis can cause loss of fertility, doctors will use antibiotics in addition to painkillers. In addition, cold compresses should be applied to the testicles. If doctors do not treat the acute stage properly, bacterial orchitis can form an abscess or develop into chronic orchitis. To prevent recurrence: Children can be vaccinated against mumps.

Dangers of orchitis

1. Causes men to develop other complications, such as prostatitis, varicocele, urinary tract infection, etc.

2. If orchitis is not treated for a long time, it will directly affect men's sexual ability, reduce the quality of their sexual life, and in severe cases, it will cause men to completely lose their sexual ability.

3. Induce male infertility. The testicles are the only place for sperm production. If a man suffers from orchitis and does not receive timely treatment, it will directly cause problems with sperm production and lead to abnormal semen, such as necrospermia and azoospermia, thus causing men to be unable to conceive.

4. If men suffer from orchitis and leave it untreated, their spouses will also suffer from gynecological diseases. Since the inflammation is not treated for a long time, these inflammatory bacteria will enter the female reproductive organs during sexual intercourse, thereby infecting the female reproductive organs and inducing women to suffer from gynecological diseases.
