What causes damp and cold scrotum?

If male friends find that their scrotum is moist and a little cool, they should not ignore it. This is most likely a symptom caused by some disease, and this symptom will become more and more serious over time. Some patients have even developed chronic prostatitis. If this is the case, it will be difficult to treat it completely, causing a series of more serious symptoms.

1. Chronic prostatitis

The most common symptoms are dysuria, perineal distension and pain, testicular distension and pain, lower abdominal and groin distension and pain, burning sensation under the anus, as well as frequent urination, urgency, a feeling of incomplete urination, and penile discomfort.

2. Varicose vein

Most patients lack conscious symptoms. A few patients may experience scrotal swelling when standing, localized persistent or intermittent swelling pain, dull pain or blunt pain in the scrotum, which may radiate to the lower abdomen, groin area or lower back.

3. Scrotal eczema

There are two types: moist and dry. In moist scrotal eczema, the entire scrotal skin is swollen and dark red, with mild erosion, exudate, scab, and significant infiltration and hypertrophy.

When the scrotum is damp, the patient feels sweaty, sticky and uncomfortable in the scrotum. The perineum is in a damp environment for a long time, bacteria are easy to breed, which can easily lead to scrotal dermatitis, glansitis, etc. As the local temperature of the scrotum rises, the spermatogenesis ability of the testicles and the maturation of sperm are affected, resulting in a decrease in the number of sperm and sperm motility, and even an increase in sperm deformities.

If the heat in the local environment of the scrotum cannot be dissipated in time, the local temperature will rise, accompanied by increased sweat secretion from the scrotal skin, which will cause the scrotum to feel damp. Physiological sweating, long-term sitting, working in a hot environment or wearing tight underwear are important inducing factors.

Scrotal dampness refers to symptoms such as erosion, dampness, and itching of the male scrotum caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, drug allergy, vitamin deficiency, fungal growth, etc. It is a skin disease unique to men. The causes of scrotal dampness are relatively complex, with both internal and external factors. People with allergic constitutions, long-term mental tension, and emotional fluctuations are prone to this disease; in addition, people with some diseases, such as chronic digestive system diseases, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders are also prone to this disease under the influence of external factors.
