Many chronic diseases will show some symptoms in the early stage. These symptoms ring an alarm bell to our body, which is that we can treat in time and recover as soon as possible. And scrotal dampness is a problem that men often encounter. What are the symptoms of scrotal dampness?
1. Acute scrotal dampness
The main manifestations of acute scrotal dampness are diffuse swelling and redness of scrotal skin, accompanied by severe itching, and many papules or blisters of the size of needles to sesame seeds can appear at the same time. After scratching or rubbing, the erythema, papule and blister burst, revealing a large amount of moist erosion, a large amount of pale yellow serous exudate, and some coagulated into a pair of pale yellow scabs. Generally, after 2 to 3 weeks, the redness and swelling are reduced, the exudation is reduced, and the healing is gradually complete, but it is easy to recur.
2. Subacute scrotal dampness
Sub-acute scrotal dampness is transformed from acute scrotal dampness, which is characterized by slight thickening and erosion of scrotal skin, more scales, less exudation and severe itching.
Subacute scrotal dampness can be converted into chronic scrotal dampness if it is not treated in time, delayed for a long time, or repeatedly occurs. The scrotal skin is gradually thickened and rough, dark red or gray-brown, with large folds, walnut shell shape, and scales attached. During the course of the disease, acute or subacute scrotal dampness symptoms such as erosion and exudation may occur due to severe itching and scratching.
3. Chronic scrotal dampness
Chronic scrotal dampness is caused by repeated episodes of acute and subacute eczema. There are also a few patients with chronic onset. The boundary of the skin lesion is obvious, and the inflammatory changes are not significant. The main manifestations are skin hypertrophy, roughness, obvious cristae, dryness, desquamation, moss-like change, dark red or dark brown skin color, scratches, a small amount of papules, blood scabs, pigmentation; The itching is severe and occasionally occurs, especially at night or when the mood is tense. It is often accompanied by irritability, insomnia, dizziness, weakness, sore waist and knees, thin coating, and thin pulse.
Hazards of wet scrotum
1. Long-term absence of treatment will reduce male spermatogenesis. Because the scrotum is in a humid and hot environment, the local temperature increases, which affects the spermatogenic ability and sperm maturity of the testis, resulting in the reduction of sperm number and sperm vitality, and even sperm deformity, leading to the difficulty of women's pregnancy.
2. It seriously affects testicular health. The temperature of testicles is 2-3 degrees lower than the body temperature under normal conditions. Because the scrotum is moist and the testicular heat cannot be distributed, it affects the production of sperm and semen in the testicles, and also causes testicular swelling and pain, which then causes orchitis and testicular swelling and pain.
3. It can lead to soreness and weakness of waist and knee, decreased sexual function, azoospermia, oligospermia, dizziness, tinnitus, testicular pain, frequency of urination, urgency of urination and other symptoms. Prolonged scrotal dampness can also lead to many serious diseases, such as diabetes, male dysfunction, testicular cancer and other serious consequences.
