Patient's question:
I am a boy. Every time it's winter, I dislike using large disposable sanitary pads because I feel it's quite warm down there. I change them twice a day. Is that okay? Are there any risks?Doctor's answer:
The scrotum of a male is quite sensitive to external temperature, but it also has a strong ability to adjust itself on its own, so there's absolutely no need for concern in your case. As long as it's not driven by psychological factors and doesn't interfere with male sexual function, using sanitary pads is harmless to your health. However, if you want to keep warm, it's better to wear warmer clothing. From a psychological perspective, this is referred to as fetishism. It's best to consult a psychologist.
