How to deal with a damp scrotum?
1. The damp scrotum is caused by excessive fatigue and kidney deficiency, which leads to a weak erection or a short duration.
2. It may be caused by sitting in a posture for a long time or frequent masturbation, which causes congestion in the genital area and may lead to prostatitis.
If the dampness is occasional and improves after rest, there is no need to worry, just pay attention to rest. If it is persistent, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination because prostatitis is not to be taken lightly and can affect sexual function and marital relationships.
Home remedies for treating a damp scrotum:
1. Egg oil:

What are the dangers of a damp scrotum?
1. Prone to prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis:
If men are exposed to a hot and humid working or living environment for a long time, they may develop prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and other diseases. When the penis and scrotum stick together for a long time, even in cold winter, the scrotum can still be damp and sticky, providing a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. High temperature and humidity are factors that can cause diseases such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, and varicocele in men, and it can also increase the risk of gynecological diseases for their sexual partners.
2. Scratching can injure the testicles:
The main symptom of a damp scrotum is uncomfortable itching. Especially when the scrotum is exposed to a cooler temperature after being in a hot and humid environment, it is irresistible to scratch it. Many people can't resist the desire to scratch, which leads to repeated injuries to the skin, and the skin becomes thicker. With thicker skin, the desire to scratch becomes stronger, forming a vicious cycle. In the long run, it can easily lead to scrotal eczema and a decline in sexual function, affecting the normal secretion of testosterone and even causing diseases such as varicocele and male infertility.
3. Affects sperm quality and sexual life:
When the testicles are inside the scrotum, their temperature is usually two to three degrees lower than the body temperature. Due to the dampness in the scrotum, the heat from the testicles cannot be dissipated, which affects the production of sperm and male hormones. As a result, the quality of sexual life declines. If the temperature in the testicles is too high, there may be early symptoms of swelling and pain, and it may lead to orchitis.
