Internet users' sexual question: Why does my scrotum always sweat? Mr. Lin, a reader from Hebei: In the past six months, I have often felt the scrotum damp and sweating cold.
Dr. Jiao Zhizheng, Deputy Director of Andrology, replied that the scrotum is rich in large sweat glands and produces a lot of sweat. The scrotum is wetter than other parts of the body, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Combined with prolonged sitting, working in a humid and hot environment, and varicocele, the feeling of moisture is more pronounced. If the scrotum is only damp and there are no other discomfort, it is necessary to pay attention to local cleanliness and dryness, live a regular life, and eat a light diet. Do not eat cold and spicy food.
Damp scrotum accompanied by itching, papules, etc. According to the development process of the disease, it can be divided into three stages: acute stage, subacute stage, and chronic stage. During acute attacks, the symptoms are mostly redness, itching, and papules on the scrotal skin, with itching and scratching, revealing smooth red skin. During subacute attacks, the symptoms are severe itching of the scrotum, reluctance to eat, sparse bowel movements, yellow urine, and sometimes mild erosion of blisters. During chronic episodes, itching may occur intermittently, leading to increased mental tension, alcohol consumption, and spicy food consumption.
The skin of the scrotum feels very hard, and the surface color of the skin is dark red or purple brown. People with fat body and local sweating are prone to this disease. There are many middle-aged and elderly men who need to see a doctor in the dermatology department of the hospital. In addition, scrotal dampness is accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, and lumbosacral pain, which may also be related to prostate diseases. Prostatitis can cause dysfunction of autonomic nervous system, resulting in scrotal dampness, which is one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis. As prostatitis improves and is cured, the moisture in the scrotum will intermittently appear until it disappears. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a prostate examination to determine the specific condition before taking the appropriate medication.
