Wet scrotum

Introduction Scrotal wet refers to male scrotal erosion, dampness, itching and other symptoms caused by spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, drug allergy, lack of vitamins, fungal growth, etc. It is a male-specific skin disease. According to the development process of this disease, the pathogenesis of scrotal moist and itching can be divided into three stages: acute scrotum moist itching, subacute scrotal moist itching and chronic scrotum moist itching.

Cause

Dress factor:

The underwear is tight, or the foreign matter is rubbed, and the chemical fiber underwear can induce scrotal eczema. Because the body structure of a man is very special, the scrotum will expand and contract with temperature changes to adjust the temperature of the testicles to 2-3 degrees below body temperature. Touching the scrotum by hand will feel cooler than other parts of the body, because the testicles are Below 2-3 degrees of body temperature, the testosterone can be normally secreted and promote sperm production. The main reason for the high temperature and humidity is the unreasonable design of the underwear. Men's underwear affects men very large, but because of the men's individuality, the discomfort caused by the poor design of underwear is often tolerated and despised, resulting in all the traditional male underwear in the existing market, in fact, there are great shortcomings. For example, many underwears are double-layered in front, and the penis and scrotum are tightly wrapped, especially in the summer, which causes the scrotum to be wet. Over time, many related skin diseases and physiological functions are caused. Therefore, the underwear is the main reason for the high temperature and humidity of the scrotum. It is recommended to wear more ventilated pocket panties with good ventilation and ventilation.

Disease factors:

People suffering from some diseases, such as chronic digestive diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders; under the influence of external factors, are also susceptible to the disease;

envirnmental factor:

The living and working environment is humid, the humidity of the air is relatively large; external stimuli, cold or hot, sweating more, excessive scratching, etc.;

other factors:

The cause of scrotal eczema is more complicated. People with allergies are prone to this disease because of long-term stress and emotional ups and downs.

Chinese medicine believes that wind evil, wet evil, heat evil, blood deficiency, and worms are the main causes of illness. The treatment of skin cream is based on the principle of dispersing wind and dampness, clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing blood and moistening dryness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. To achieve the effect of exorcism and rectification.

Differential diagnosis

Diagnosis can be made based on the following clinical manifestations:

Spleen deficiency wet weight

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the first one is the spleen and wet weight we are talking about. Chinese medicine believes that human water metabolism is mainly three organs, the first lung, the second spleen, the third is the kidney, is some people with spleen deficiency, due to the spleen main transport, Chinese medicine said that the function of the spleen is tube digestion and absorption After eating, food and water are transported through the spleen to various parts of the body. So why is the function of the spleen not good? There are innate aspects, such as the inheritance of parents, the function of the spleen is weaker.

Acquired disorder

The second is the acquired disorder, such as the day after tomorrow due to poor health, often getting sick, or eating badly, or so on. When the function of the spleen is not good, the transport function is not good, and it cannot be infiltrated (we say that the spleen can be infiltrated). Water can not be transported, and some of them go away from the intestines. People with spleen deficiency often have loose stools, and people with spleen deficiency are prone to cause scrotum and other wetness. This is caused by poor water wetness and spleen deficiency.

Wet heat

The third is the damp heat, which may be caused by the dysfunction of the human internal organs. It may also be caused by the natural climate, or it may be because the diet is not clean, or the diet cannot adjust the diet. For example, people who love to drink, people who like to eat spicy things, such people are often very hot and humid, spit out the tongue, the moss is particularly thick, sticky and sticky yellow urine, which is often wet scrotum. It has something to do with his diet. Of course, it has a relationship with the climate. It is often rainy and rainy, hot and humid, and the scrotum of the spleen is more humid.

In addition, scrotal moistness is one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis, and is also associated with long-term sedentary, hot work and varicocele. If you are a prostatitis patient, the scrotum is wet and associated with prostatitis. Because the skin of the scrotum is more wrinkled, there are more sweat glands, strong secretion, and the air is not easy to circulate. Wearing tight underwear such as chemical fiber will make the ventilation situation worse.
