Wet scrotum is a problem that many male friends encounter, but is it really a "disease"? Will it have any impact?
To be honest, scrotal dampness is a common physiological phenomenon in males, not a disease. However, modern medical research has found that in addition to vigorous exercise, high mental tension, and consumption of spicy and stimulating foods, dampness of the scrotum is also related to the common Yin deficiency constitution and prostate disease in modern men.
1. Yin deficiency constitution can easily induce dampness in the male scrotum
As is well known, the typical symptom of Yin deficiency constitution is hot flashes and excessive sweating. Moreover, a considerable portion of the dampness and sweating caused by yin deficiency constitution are usually systemic, covering the head, face, armpits, back, and the location where the scrotum is damp - the scrotum.
The main reasons why modern men are prone to yin deficiency constitution and scrotal dampness symptoms induced by yin deficiency constitution include the following aspects:
1. Eating fat, sweet and greasy, resulting in energy and overnutrition consumed by the body;
2. Excessive consumption of spicy and stimulating foods can lead to local or systemic chronic congestion;
3. Excessive indulgence leads to local or systemic chronic congestion.
Therefore, for the dampness of the scrotum caused by yin deficiency constitution, in addition to necessary treatment, it is also very important to pay attention to a light diet and moderate sexual desire.
2. Prostate diseases can easily induce dampness in the male scrotum
It is understood that there are a large number of nerve roots distributed inside the prostate gland. These nerve roots are connected to the perineum, penis, and scrotum adjacent to the prostate through nerve branches and nerve endings.
A considerable portion of prostate diseases, such as prostatitis, prostate calcification, prostate stones, etc., can easily stimulate the nerve roots inside the prostate gland, causing excitement of the nerve roots inside the prostate gland. The excitation of the nerve roots inside the prostate gland is transmitted to the scrotum adjacent to the prostate through nerve branches and nerve endings, which can easily cause dysfunction of the nervous system that regulates scrotal sweat excretion, ultimately increasing the likelihood of scrotal dampness symptoms.
Damp scrotum
Dampness of the scrotum is one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis, which is caused by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system caused by prostatitis. There is no change on the surface of the scrotal skin, but there are abnormal sensations such as sweating, dampness, or coolness. According to the development process of the disease, it can be divided into three stages: acute stage, subacute stage, and chronic stage.
When an acute attack occurs, the scrotal skin becomes flushed, itchy, and has papules. After scratching, smooth red skin can be exposed. During subacute attacks, the scrotum experiences severe itching, loss of appetite, loose stools, yellow urine, and sometimes blisters and mild erosion. During chronic attacks, itching may occur intermittently, exacerbating symptoms such as mental stress, alcohol consumption, and spicy food consumption. The skin of the scrotum feels hard to the touch, and the surface color of the skin appears dark red or purple brown.
What can damp scrotum do
1、 Inducing diseases
The dampness of the scrotum causes the "penis" and scrotum to stick together for a long time. Even in cold winter, it can still cause the scrotum to be damp, and it can be felt to be noticeably sticky by hand, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. High temperature and humidity are potential lesions that can cause prostatitis, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, and varicocele in men, making it more likely to pose a potential risk of gynecological diseases to women who have sexual contact with them.
2、 Damaged testicles
The main symptom of scrotal eczema is the painful and unbearable "itching", especially in the originally hot and humid environment, when taking off pants and touching cooler temperatures, it makes people have to scratch it. Many people cannot resist the desire to scratch, so the more they scratch the skin, the more they are injured, and then the thicker the skin, the more they want to scratch, forming a vicious cycle. Over time, it can easily lead to scrotal dampness, scrotal eczema, and decreased sexual function, affecting the secretion of testosterone and even causing varicocele and infertility.
3、 Impact on sperm
Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the testicles inside the scrotum should be 2-3 degrees below body temperature. Due to the dampness of the scrotum and the inability to dissipate testicular heat, it affects the production of male hormones in testicular sperm and semen, resulting in a decrease in the quality of sexual life. If the testicular heat is too high, it will cause testicular swelling and pain in the early stage, and then it will cause orchitis and testicular swelling and pain.
