Patient's question:
I recently plan to have a child with my wife. But my wife has not been pregnant. My wife has gone to the hospital and undergone all the necessary tests, such as the six sexual hormones, BC, and follicle monitoring. It was found that everything was normal, and the follicles were also releasing normally. If she is normal, then it must be me who is not normal.Doctor's answer:
The contraction of the scrotum is to regulate the temperature of the testicles to be about 2 degrees lower than body temperature. The testicles are only most conducive to the secretion of testosterone when they are about 2 degrees lower than body temperature. Testosterone is a crucial substance for promoting sperm production. Nowadays, tight-fitting men's underwear is popular, and the front design is usually double-layered, wrapping the scrotum and penis together. Over time, this leads to the groin being in a long-term hot and humid environment, becoming a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria. Prolonged high temperatures and humidity in the groin are potential risks for common male diseases such as prostatitis, varicocele, seminal vesiculitis, and scrotal eczema. Prostatitis, varicocele, and seminal vesiculitis are common male diseases that can lead to infertility. Therefore, experts recommend wearing scrotal pouch underwear that is breathable, windproof, and has good heat dissipation isolation to keep the groin dry, breathable, and well-ventilated in the long term.
