    Whether white hair on the testicles is a normal phenomenon cannot be determined directly. It generally needs to be determined based on the cause of the white hair formation. It is necessary to obtain relevant examinations from the hospital in a timely manner and determine whether there are any abnormalities under the guidance of a doctor.

    1. Normal phenomenon

    The growth of white hair on the testicles may be due to the increase of age. As the age increases, the secretion of male hormones in the body decreases. Usually, the secretion of melanin will gradually decrease, and the body hair in the body will gradually turn white. The phenomenon of white hair on the testicles may appear. This is a normal phenomenon of human aging and does not require special treatment.

    2. Abnormal phenomena

    The growth of white hair on the testicles may also be due to abnormalities. Most of them are due to insufficient local melanin synthesis. It may be due to inflammatory lesions in the testicles, or it may be due to hormone levels in the body.

    It is best for patients to go to the hospital to cooperate with the doctor for a physical examination. They also need to do hormone content testing and local folliculoscopy. The results can help diagnose the specific cause. If there is a serious lesion, anti-inflammatory ointment needs to be applied locally. You can use erythromycin ointment or zinc oxide ointment. If it is accompanied by hormone levels in the body, it needs to be treated with testosterone supplementation.
