Scrotal dampness

Scrotum is a man's private parts. Wet scrotum always makes you miserable. Does scrotum dampness mean that the body is sick? What method can solve the problem of scrotum dampness? By reading this article, you can find the answer to the above questions.

What if scrotum is wet?

Scrotal dampness refers to male scrotal erosion, dampness, itching and other symptoms caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, drug allergy, vitamin deficiency, fungus breeding and other reasons, and is a unique skin disease of men. The etiology of scrotal eczema is complicated, with internal and external causes. People with allergies, long-term mental stress and great emotional changes are prone to this disease; Try to treat with drugs containing Lekang Shule; In addition, people with certain diseases, such as chronic digestive system diseases, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders, etc., are also prone to this disease under the action of external factors.

What reason is scrotum damp?

1, spleen deficiency and dampness excess

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, part of the reason for male scrotum dampness is excessive spleen dampness. Our water metabolism is mainly composed of three viscera, the first lung, the second spleen and the third kidney. However, in some men with wet scrotum, the spleen prevents food and water from being transported to all parts of the body.

There are many reasons for spleen dampness, including congenital reasons and acquired reasons. Congenital is inherited by parents, but the function of spleen is weak. There is also an acquired reason, such as poor health and frequent illness, which will lead to severe spleen dampness. When the function of the spleen is not good, the transport function is not good, which affects the water-dampness transport function of the spleen, which is also the reason why people with spleen dampness often have loose stool. Some people with spleen deficiency are prone to scrotum dampness, which is caused by poor water and dampness transport and spleen deficiency.

2. Lower coke is wet and hot.

Dampness of lower energizer is also one of the reasons for scrotum, which is caused by natural climate and unclean diet. For example, people who like to drink and eat spicy food are often very hot and humid, with thick and greasy fur, sticky urine and wet scrotum.

Besides diet, of course, it has something to do with the climate. If it rains frequently, the scrotum will be wetter in hot and humid weather and people with spleen deficiency.

3. Chronic prostatitis

You may not know that one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis is wet scrotum, and it also has a lot to do with long-term sedentary and working in an overheated environment. If you are a patient with prostatitis, scrotal dampness is related to prostatitis. This is because scrotal skin wrinkles are more, sweat glands are more, secretion is strong, and air is not easy to circulate. Wearing underwear like chemical fiber will make the air permeability worse.

4, airtight

Part of the reason for scrotal wetness is related to tight underwear. If the scrotum is in a closed environment for a long time, it will inevitably lead to scrotum dampness. In fact, the scrotum itself has a certain ability to relax and contract, and its skin contains a large number of sweat glands, which can adjust the local temperature and maintain balance. But if the sweat secreted cannot be released in time, the scrotum will be wet and cold.

So male friends must pay special attention. When choosing underwear in daily life, you must choose cotton underwear and breathable underwear to avoid scrotum dampness.

5. Physiological function

Some men's physiological dysfunction can also lead to scrotal wetness, such as prostate problems. The prostate is close to the seminal vesicle and vas deferens. Once infected with inflammation, bacteria will slowly descend along the vas deferens. As for the scrotum, it will destroy the neuromodulation function and lead to its disorder. The disorder of nerve regulation will affect the physiological function of sweat glands, lead to the imbalance of sweat secretion and volatilization, and finally lead to local wet itching.

What if scrotum is wet?

Scrotal dampness is not necessarily pathological. If there is no other discomfort, pay attention to local cleanliness and dryness. Usually pay attention to a light diet and eat less cold food and spicy food. However, the general scrotum dampness may have a certain relationship with prostate diseases. I suggest that you actively do prostate examination, determine the specific condition and pay attention to symptomatic treatment.

Western medicine treatment

Scrotal eczema is a common scrotal dermatosis, commonly known as "hydrangea wind" and "renal capsule wind". Symmetrical occurrence, often involving the whole scrotum, itching in the affected area, lasting, recurrent attacks, difficult to cure.

Scrotum is a place where men are ashamed to speak. But the skin here is an eventful place. The following diseases often itch the scrotum:

Scrotal eczema scrotal skin appears erythema, papules, blisters, erosion, exudation, scabbing and other symptoms, and patients feel burning and itchy. Acute swelling or erosion often occurs due to hard scratching and hot water washing. The course of the disease is long, and repeated attacks make the skin thicker, rougher and pigmentation.

Circumferential erythema, desquamation and severe itching appeared on scrotal skin of tinea cruris. Patients often suffer from tinea pedis (commonly known as athlete's foot) or tinea manus, and the thigh skin and buttocks on the opposite side of scrotum often have the same symptoms.

Fixed drug eruption A round edematous erythema appears repeatedly in a certain part of scrotal skin, with clear edge, burning sensation and itching sensation, which often appears within a few hours after taking the drug by mistake, and gradually fades after stopping taking the drug for about a week, sometimes leaving dark purple spots. If you take the same medicine by mistake again, it may recur.

Nodules the size of soybeans appear on the scrotal skin of scabies. Prior to this, scattered papules and blisters appeared on fingers, wrists, waist and lower abdomen, and most of them were itchy at night.

Neurodermatitis of scrotum is closely related to emotion. When the mood fluctuates, the scrotum is severely itchy, and after scratching, the skin appears papules, which gradually become one piece, and the skin becomes thicker and harder.

Riboflavin deficiency cystitis can cause riboflavin deficiency due to eating polished white rice, polished white flour, rubbing rice for many times, chopping and soaking vegetables or long-term diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, picky eaters and partial eclipse. Its main manifestations are: at first, the scrotum is red and shiny, and then red spots appear on both sides of the scrotum seam, and scales are stuck on it. Soon, multiple flat papules about the size of soybean can appear, accompanied by different degrees of itching, often accompanied by angular stomatitis and glossitis. As long as you take riboflavin tablets for a week, your symptoms will be obviously improved. After changing eating habits or normal gastrointestinal function, the condition will be relieved quickly, but it will recur when the nutritional status is poor.

Patients often can't distinguish the above-mentioned common scrotal dermatoses, and the treatment methods are also different. It is necessary to ask a specialist to make diagnosis and symptomatic treatment according to the specific condition.

Traditional Chinese medicine classification

Scrotal eczema is generally divided into two types in TCM: excess and deficiency: excess is mostly damp-heat. It is caused by always eating spicy food and getting fat, or the scrotum is wet, sweat seeps into it, and underwear rubs. Papules, small sores and pustules can be seen in scrotum, and changes such as erosion, exudation and scabbing appear after scratching. Scrotal skin is red and burning, and deficiency syndrome often changes from acute stage. Scrotal skin is thickened, rough as grass, black in color and itchy. Empirical treatment should clear away heat and promote diuresis, while deficiency syndrome should nourish blood and moisten skin.
