Why is the egg sac so wet?

Moisture in the scrotum may be caused by environmental factors, local infection, varicocele, chronic prostatitis, scrotal eczema, etc. It can be alleviated by keeping it dry and clean, taking medication, and improving living habits.

1. Environmental factors:

High temperature environment or wearing non-breathable underwear can cause local sweat evaporation in the scrotum to be blocked. Sitting for long periods of time and not cleaning up promptly after exercise may aggravate symptoms. It is recommended to choose pure cotton breathable underwear to avoid being in a high temperature environment for a long time, and wipe it in time after sweating to keep you dry.

2. Local infection:

A fungal or bacterial infection may cause the scrotum to become moist and itchy. Common tinea cruris caused by Candida albicans infection may be accompanied by erythema and scaling. Bacterial infection may cause local redness, swelling, heat and pain. The diagnosis needs to be confirmed through secretion examination, and antifungal ointments or antibiotics should be used as directed by the doctor.

3. Varicocele:

Poor venous return leads to increased scrotal temperature and a moist feeling, which may be accompanied by bloating and discomfort. Vermiform varicose veins can be seen on the surface of the scrotum when standing. Mild cases can be improved by scrotal support, while severe cases require surgical treatment such as high spermatic vein ligation.

4. Chronic prostatitis:

Pelvic congestion may cause scrotal moisture, often accompanied by frequent urination and perineal pain. Prostatic fluid examination showed an increase in white blood cells. Treatment requires a combination of antibiotics, α-receptor blockers and other drugs, as well as warm water sitz baths to improve local blood circulation.

5. Scrotal eczema:

Allergic skin diseases manifest as scrotal skin flushing, papules and exudation, with an obvious tendency to become moist in the acute phase. It may be related to contact with chemical fiber materials and detergent residues. It is necessary to avoid scratching, use weak hormone ointments to control inflammation, and in severe cases, oral antihistamines may be required.

In daily life, you should avoid spicy food and reduce your intake of tobacco and alcohol. Choose loose-fitting, breathable cotton underwear and change it daily, and dry the scrotal folds thoroughly after bathing. Use fragrance-free talcum powder to keep dry. If symptoms persist for more than two weeks or if skin damage, obvious odor, etc. occur, it is recommended to go to a dermatology or urology department for examination in time. Long-term moist environment may induce secondary skin infection, and the cause needs to be determined through fungal microscopy, routine prostatic fluid examination and other examinations before targeted treatment.
