Patient's question:
What is the reason for the dampness in my scrotum? There is nothing in summer, especially in winter when I wear more clothes, it becomes more noticeable. In the morning when I wake up, the scrotum is damp, and my underwear is also wet. What disease is this? What is the cause? How can it be cured? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Scrotal dampness is caused by congestion and edema of the prostate or inflammation of the prostate, leading to slow leakage of prostatic fluid! Patients who sit for long periods can cause swelling in the perineum, which in turn leads to congestion and edema of the prostate. The swollen prostate may have inflammatory protrusions and prostatic exudation, causing dampness in the scrotum! Sometimes, some people think that scrotal dampness is due to sweating, but this is a very small possibility. Sweating requires temperature as a condition, but the testicles cannot adapt to higher temperatures, so the scrotum rarely sweats! Additionally, there are almost no pores on the scrotum.
