Causes of male penis whitening

The graying of male pubic hair may be caused by abnormal hormone levels in the body, because the imbalance of hormone levels can lead to inflammation, and testicular inflammation can also cause graying of pubic hair, so male friends should pay attention to the care of the penis and scrotum. When male pubic hair turns gray, pay attention to the treatment of scrotal inflammation and try to avoid sexual intercourse. It is necessary to check the cause of gray pubic hair.

Pubic hair, also known as pubic hair, is the hair that grows on the external genitalia, inside the trousers and on the inner thighs. Pubic hair protects our body. It can absorb the sweat and mucus secreted from the scrotum and spread it around, which is beneficial to the health of the body. During sexual intercourse, it can also increase the pleasure caused by friction on the external genitalia. In addition, pubic hair also has the function of keeping warm, protecting the normal survival temperature of sperm and eggs. Pubic hair is normally dense and dark. If the pubic hair becomes sparse, hairless or white, you should start to be alert to whether it is a sign of certain diseases.

There are several common reasons for male pubic hair to turn white:

1. Abnormal hormone levels in the body: The human body's organs "function" normally under the regulation of hormones. The color of pubic hair is maintained by the hormone levels in the body, just like a car needs a driver to control it. The whitening of pubic hair is often caused by the imbalance of the body's hormone level regulation function and the stimulation of certain inflammations.

2. Clinically, whitening of pubic hair is also commonly caused by long-term stimulation of inflammation in the testicles, epididymis, and scrotum.

3. The whitening of some pubic hair is also related to the lack of trace elements in the body, mental factors, malnutrition, kidney deficiency, blood deficiency, etc.

As the tyrosinase activity of the pigment cells in the hair follicles gradually weakens, the pigment in the hair shaft also gradually decreases, and gray hair appears. If observed under an electron microscope, very few pigment cells can be seen in the hair papilla and hair shaft. The hair gradually turns gray as we age. In terms of occurrence and development, gray hair mostly starts on the sides of the head and temples, and gradually develops, and it takes several years or more to develop to the entire head. During this process, the beard, eyebrows, armpit hair and pubic hair may also begin to turn gray a little, but compared to the hair, the degree is much lighter, that is, it starts to turn gray later and the amount is less.
