      Men should also insist on washing and cleaning their perineum every day, just like women. Be careful not to wash with too hot water. Don’t underestimate washing your lower body, and don’t turn it into a mere formality. Otherwise, you may achieve half the result with twice the result, or even be counterproductive. For example, some people try to save trouble by just washing their feet with water, but they do not know that the fungus of athlete's foot will be transmitted to the perineum, causing tinea cruris.

      When cleaning, you should wash the reproductive organs first and then the anus. After washing the anus, you should not use the same basin of water to wash the reproductive organs again. The order of drying is the same as above. Prepare a separate towel and do not mix it with the foot towel. After wiping, wash the towel with clean water and dry it.

      Frequent self-examination. Correct testicle self-examination technique: Hold one side of the testicle lightly with both hands, touch it lightly with your thumb while moving the other fingers, and check thoroughly for any lumps or abnormalities in touch or appearance. The epididymis is behind the testicles and has a harder texture, so it can easily be mistaken for a tumor. If you have the following symptoms in your testicles, please seek medical examination immediately: a hard lump in your testicles; pain, swelling or tenderness in your testicles; ulcers on the scrotal epidermis.

      Injuried first aid But "jump" accidents involving injuries to a man's lower body can happen whether on the sports field or in daily life. For example, if you accidentally ride on a hard object while riding a motorcycle or bicycle, your perineum will suffer an unprepared blow.

      What should you do if you encounter this situation? Generally speaking, when the scrotum is hit, the testicles will reflexively shrink upward and close to the perineum. Therefore, if the blow is not very serious, as an emergency rescue measure at the scene, the injured person should be forced to stand up and jump hard to make the shrunken testicles quickly drop to their original position. Otherwise, when the testicles are squeezed up due to strong external force and are in an abnormal position for a long time, the blood vessels will be twisted, the testicles will be compressed, the blood supply to the testicles will be interrupted, and the ischemia time will be too long, which may lead to necrosis of the testicular tissue itself.

      If the scrotum swells quickly, the pain persists, or there is blood mixed in the urine, emergency measures should be taken and sent to the hospital immediately. Hospital Urology department for examination and treatment.
