How do men check their genital health? Besides the penis and scrotum, they should also look here

How do men check their genital health? Men's genitals are related to sexual well-being and fertility, so we must take more care of them. We might as well check their health status at ordinary times. So, how do men check their genital health? Let's take a look.

The male genitalia is an important sexual organ, but it is very "fragile" and prone to some problems, which requires our meticulous care. Because it involves personal privacy, many men do not do routine genital examination every year, so self-inspection becomes the only way to reduce health risks. It is recommended that boys conduct self-inspection when bathing, because the skin of scrotum is relaxed at this time, which is conducive to the process.

Clinically, doctors often measure the length of male penis traction to see if there is any organic problem. In fact, men can also measure their penis health at home.

Self-test the health of the penis

First, measure the length of the penis under normal conditions. One hand holds the penis flat, and the other hand uses a ruler to measure the length from the root of the penis to the tip of the glans. This is the length before pulling. Then, hold the tip of the glans, pull it forward as far as possible, and measure the length again. At this time, the length after pulling is obtained. The difference between the two can reflect the elasticity of the penis.

The larger the difference, the better the elasticity; The smaller the difference, the poorer the elasticity and the lower the erectile ability. If the difference of subtraction is less than 2/3 of the original length before pulling, there may be organic problems.

Men can also use the stamp measurement method to know whether there is spontaneous erection at night. 18 perforated stamps should be prepared in three nights in a week. Use 4-6 stamps at a time, but don't tear them apart. Wear a pair of close-fitting cotton underwear when sleeping to prevent stamps from falling off or tearing.

Before going to bed, put the stamps in a circle and stick the head and tail together. After drying, put the stamp on the penis. The first thing I do when I wake up the next day is to see if the stamps are torn. If yes, it indicates that spontaneous erection has occurred. Do not drink alcohol or take sleeping pills on the night of the test. People who use sedative drugs should stop taking drugs for two days before testing. If you are woken up by telephone or noise, you should stop the test and find another quiet night to do it.

What parts should men look at for self-inspection?

The testis is located in the scrotum. With the increase of age, the sexual function decline will shrink and become smaller. During self-inspection, gently pinch the testicles on both sides with both hands. Under normal circumstances, they are about 4-5cm long and 2-3cm wide, in a slightly flat oval shape, with smooth surface and slightly hard texture. Some people's testicles are large and small, high and low. If the difference is small, it is normal. If the testicles are small and soft, you need to be vigilant. It is better to go to a regular hospital for further examination.

The scrotum is located under the penis and is used to protect the testis and epididymis. It is very sensitive to external stimuli, so pay attention to protection and do not over-stimulate. When checking the scrotum, pay attention to whether it is red and swollen, and whether there is abnormal mass in the scrotum. If yes, you need to go to the hospital for further examination.

The size of the normal penis varies greatly, generally about 7-10cm. It is considered abnormal only when it is too short or too large with abnormal function. Pay attention to the size, shape, position and deformity of the penis, determine whether you have erectile dysfunction, and whether the penis has ecchymosis, induration, lump, ulcer and other conditions. In addition, observe whether the prepuce is too long, turn up the prepuce, and check whether there is swelling, ulcer, secretion, phimosis, narrow prepuce mouth, and swelling in the phimosis. Excessive prepuce and phimosis are common diseases. The person who checks the phimosis must turn the foreskin back to its original state, otherwise it is easy to cause incarceration. For children and teenagers with phimosis, the hard lump on the head of the penis is often foreskin scaling.

Pubic hair is mainly distributed in pubic caruncle. To check the male external genitalia, first of all, pay attention to the presence, number and distribution of pubic hair. Generally, pubic hair begins to grow around the age of 12 in adolescence, and some individuals with precocious puberty have pubic hair growth before the age of 10. The distribution of pubic hair of normal adult male is slightly equilateral triangle, its upper border is not obvious, and the center gradually extends upward to the umbilicus. If the distribution of pubic hair is abnormal, it is suspected to have endocrine disorder. If there is itching in the pubic region and there are body lice-like insects, it may be infected with pubic lice.
