According to the Chongqing Morning Post, not long ago, a middle-aged man in his 40s felt itching in his scrotum when he went to the bathroom. He used his hand to scratch it, but the blood vessel in the area was torn and there was continuous blood flow. He had to pinch the scrotum with his hand and quickly rushed to the hospital for help.
In clinical practice, although the phenomenon of this gentleman grabbing the scrotum with fresh blood is not common, it is quite common to have slight bleeding and scabbing, and many men do not take this as their intention.
There was such a patient in the outpatient department before. He is a driver who experiences symptoms of wet and itchy scrotum due to continuous driving. But he thought it was a small matter and tried to scald it with warm water at home, scratching it with his hands to relieve itching. As a result, his skin was torn and blood and yellow water were dripping profusely. After scabbing, he sweated slightly, and the scrotal skin itched like being pricked by wheat, making him restless. His wife suspected that he had contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and the two of them argued and went to the hospital for a check-up.
In fact, scrotal itching is quite common in young men, as the skin of the scrotum is affected by sweat immersion, underwear friction, or a lack of vitamin B2 in the body, scrotal inflammation caused by fungi, as well as neurodermatitis, eczema, and other conditions in the scrotum area, can all lead to this condition.
Male friends should not be ashamed to speak up because of the special position of the scrotum. Especially, it is not advisable to use iodine wine, anti tinea solution, garlic, etc. to sterilize oneself. Scratching, rubbing, and scalding are the most avoided. Soap, salt water, and alkaline water are not suitable for use.
The above multiple causes are often difficult for patients to distinguish themselves, and the treatment methods vary, so it is necessary to seek a diagnosis from a specialist.
