Many men are worried about developing prostatitis when they notice that the scrotum is moist. Experts say that in fact, wet scrotum and prostatitis cannot be equated, and wet scrotum is not a specific symptom of prostatitis.
"Snail dwelling" of the scrotum is located in the mysterious triangular region of men, and its special position makes the skin prone to sweating. There are a large number of sweat glands in the skin of the scrotum, which distribute sweat in a timely manner. "The amount of sweat is related to the local temperature of the scrotum. If the temperature is too high, sweat secretion will increase or there will be no time to dissipate, and the scrotum will be prone to moisture.". Because of this, the scrotum has developed the ability to contract in the cold and relax in the heat, thereby regulating local temperature and avoiding scrotal dampness. To prevent the scrotum from getting wet, it is necessary to provide a better living environment for the scrotum - such as breathable and loose underwear, loose outer pants, and attention to the cleanliness of the testicles, which can allow the scrotum to dissipate heat in a timely manner.
Although some patients with prostatitis may have symptoms of scrotal dampness, scrotal dampness is not necessarily prostatitis. Experts say that, therefore, male friends should not be considered as prostatitis because of wet scrotum, let alone blindly treat prostatitis. However, if you do not pay attention to the dampness of the scrotum, it can cause many bacteria to grow easily, which can easily lead to scrotal dermatitis and balanitis. "Wet scrotum may also have an impact on spermatogenesis, because wet scrotum means poor heat dissipation, which can cause local testicular temperatures to rise. If the temperature is too high, testicular spermatogenesis and sperm maturation are affected, resulting in a decrease in sperm count and sperm viability, and even lead to excessive sperm abnormalities or infertility.". This is more important for men who do not have children to prevent scrotal dampness.
