It seems that many people have this problem. The wet and cold scrotum has probably puzzled male friends for a long time. When I stretched out my hand to explore between my legs, it turned out to be wet! I think that feeling is really not good. To put it bluntly, scrotal moisture can generally only be described as a disease and cannot be regarded as a disease because it does not directly cause physical or mental harm to your health. Generally, scrotal moisture is mostly caused by the following factors.

1. Symptoms: You may be suffering from chronic prostatitis. The male prostate is close to the seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts. After infection and inflammation, the pathogenic bacteria will slowly slide down the ejaculatory ducts and affect the vagina, destroying the nerve regulation function and causing disorder. Once the neuroregulatory function is disrupted, the endocrine system of the sebaceous glands will also be affected immediately, resulting in an imbalance between sweat excretion and evaporation, causing local clammy and itching.
2. Basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation: unscientific underwear or often wearing wet underwear. These effects on the vagina are quite large. For example, many underwear on the market have two layers on the front, which tightly wraps the vagina and greatly increases the temperature of the vagina. Summer is more likely to cause scrotal moisture ； Frequently wearing wet and cold underwear can also cause abnormal wetness and coldness in the vagina, and even cause some physiological symptoms.

What symptoms do men generally experience when their scrotum is moist?

1. Subacute disease

It is common for the skin of the vagina to be red, itchy, and have papules. If the itching is scratched a lot, smooth bright red skin can be exposed.

2. Acute illness

Severe itching of the vagina, loss of appetite, sticky stools, yellow urine, and sometimes blisters and slight erosion.

3. Chronic disease

Itching comes on and off, and is aggravated by stress, anxiety, drinking, or eating spicy food. The skin of the vagina feels hard, and the surface color of the skin is brown or purple-brown. It is a male disease. People who are fat and prone to sweating are prone to this disease. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly men.
