Is male scrotal dampness a deficiency of kidney yin? A brief introduction to the treatment and prevention of male scrotal dampness
Post Date April, 15 2023
Kidney yin deficiency is a type of kidney deficiency, and after this condition occurs, some patients also experience dampness in the scrotum. So, is damp scrotum a deficiency of kidney yin?
Dampness in the scrotum is due to the prolonged exposure of the genitals to a humid environment, which leads to the growth of many bacteria and inflammation in many male diseases. If left untreated for a long time, it may lead to a serious decrease in sperm count and low activity, resulting in excessive sperm deformity. So is damp scrotum a deficiency of kidney yin? Dampness of the scrotum indeed refers to kidney yin deficiency, or a lack of vitamins caused by not being clean. Fungal growth and drug allergies are all possible causes of scrotal dampness. You need to distinguish whether your condition is due to your own allergic constitution or other diseases, such as endocrine disorders, chronic digestive diseases, metabolic functional disorders, etc. These may all be the causes of scrotal dampness.
When the scrotum is damp, the patient feels sweaty and sticky in the local area of the scrotum. The perineum is in a humid environment for a long time, and bacteria are easy to breed, which can easily lead to scrotal dermatitis, balanitis, and so on. Due to the temperature rise of the scrotum, the testicular spermatogenesis and sperm maturation are affected, resulting in a decrease in the number of sperm and sperm motility, and even an increase in sperm abnormalities.
