Patient's question:
Doctor, what could be the reason for the corpus cavernosum to become hard when the penis is flaccid? It is particularly noticeable before taking a bath, as if it is being stimulated by cold, causing it to contract and harden.Doctor's answer:
The penis and scrotum are normally hanging and spread downward, which serves a cooling function. This is because a man's sperm has very strict requirements for temperature, and both excessive cold or heat can affect the quantity and quality of sperm. If the sperm is kept in the cavity for a long time, it can be damaged, and in severe cases, it may lead to testicular inflammation (cancer).The reasons for the contraction of the penis and scrotum are mainly four points:
1. Mental stress and tension;
2. Invasion of wind and cold, which causes the testicles to contract when exposed to cold or coldness;
3. Organic damage;
4. Inflammation.
Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Your health should not be taken lightly or handled blindly.
