Patient's question:
Sometimes, I notice that my scrotum and penis contract together. If I play around for a while, they will stretch open. So, is it a sign of kidney deficiency if the scrotum is always contracted?Doctor's answer:
It is also a normal phenomenon for the scrotum to contract. The tightening of the scrotal skin is not controlled by the human brain but is influenced by external environmental stimuli. When the external environment is cold, the scrotum contracts, and when it warms up, it relaxes. This helps ensure that sperm are maintained in a suitable humidity environment. It is also important to pay attention to hygiene care for the genital area and try to avoid consuming spicy foods.
