Patient's question:
Is it normal for the scrotal skin to feel cool sometimes? When the penis is erect, the scrotum contracts and feels cool as well—is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is possible that you may have sweaty scrotum. Sweaty scrotum refers to the abnormal sensation of excessive sweating, dampness, or coolness on the scrotal skin surface without any visible changes, and some patients may experience itching. If you have prostatitis, sweaty scrotum may also be related to prostatitis. Sweaty scrotum is associated with prolonged sitting, working in hot environments, and varicocele. Long-term overfatigue, physical weakness, and weak kidney function can easily cause sweaty scrotum in men; frequent masturbation is also a contributing factor. Prolonged sweaty scrotum can lead to many serious diseases, such as diabetes, male functional impairment, and testicular cancer. If you notice any problems, please seek medical attention promptly. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
