Why are my balls a little wet?

Moisture in the scrotum may be caused by a stuffy environment, prolonged sedentary life, local infection, varicocele, scrotal eczema, etc. Targeted improvement measures need to be taken according to specific inducements.

1. The environment is stuffy:

Wearing non-breathable underwear or outer pants will cause the local temperature of the scrotum to increase and prevent sweat from evaporating. It is more likely to occur when the temperature is high in summer or when you are in a heating environment for a long time. It is recommended to choose pure cotton breathable underwear, avoid wearing tight pants, and stand up properly to ventilate during work breaks.

2. Sedentary for long periods of time:

Sitting for a long period of time will cause the scrotum to be in close contact with the roots of the thighs, affecting the normal evaporation of sweat. It is common among professional groups such as drivers and office workers. You should get up and move around for 5 minutes every hour. You can sleep naked at home to promote local dryness.

3. Local infection:

Fungal scrotal inflammation or bacterial infection may cause an increase in abnormal discharge, often accompanied by itching, redness and swelling. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed through secretion examination. Common pathogenic bacteria are Candida albicans or Staphylococcus aureus. After diagnosis, you need to use antifungal cream or antibiotic treatment as directed by your doctor.

4. Varicocele:

Poor venous return can lead to abnormal scrotal temperature regulation, manifested by a persistent feeling of moisture. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as swelling pain and vermiform veins. Mild cases can be relieved by raising the scrotum, while moderate to severe cases require microscopic spermatic vein ligation.

3. Scrotal eczema:

Allergic skin diseases can lead to an increase in local exudate, and papules and blisters can be seen in the acute stage. Related to exposure to chemical detergents, animal hair and other allergens. Avoid scratching, use weak hormone ointments to control inflammation, and take oral antihistamines in severe cases.

You should keep your scrotum clean and dry every day, and dry the folds thoroughly after bathing. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet, and supplement vitamin B in an appropriate amount to improve skin metabolism. Choose loose, breathable cotton underwear and avoid using alkaline shower gels for cleaning. If the symptoms of dampness last for more than two weeks or are accompanied by odor, ulcers, etc., it is recommended to go to a dermatology or urology department in time to investigate pathological factors. Change sweaty clothes in time after exercise, pay attention to local dryness after swimming or bathing, and use baby powder appropriately to keep you fresh.
