What to do if a man’s lower body is wet

Male friends must not ignore it once they feel that their lower body is moist, because there are more and more male diseases now. If they are not treated in time, their symptoms will become more serious and even cause some inflammatory changes. The most common one is epididymitis. The incidence of this disease is quite high, and it will take a long time to be treated after it occurs.

epididymitis

Cause and effect: The epididymis is the surrounding posterior edge of the testicle, where sperm is temporarily stored after production. Epididymitis is more common in people around the age of 30. It is mostly caused by bacterial infection of the urinary tract that has not healed, causing the bacteria to enter the epididymis through the lumen of the vas deferens. It often occurs with posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. The location can be unilateral or bilateral, and the onset time can be acute or slow.

Your examination: The entire scrotum is red, swollen, hot and painful, sensitive to touch, and burning when urinating. The scrotum is painful when resting, but symptoms are relieved when lying on the back.

Doctor's treatment: Give you some antibiotics to relieve acute pain. Then put a cold compress on the testicle and raise it up at the same time. You can use rolled socks or medical gauze to put it underneath. If you can't do it yourself, you can wear a pair of fixed briefs - it can also reduce the discomfort and swelling in the spermatic cord area. Prevent it from happening again: Although men are much less likely to get a urinary tract infection than women, when it does happen, the consequences can be serious. If you have a burning sensation when urinating, you must seek medical attention immediately.

Orchitis

Causes and consequences: Mostly caused by epididymitis spreading directly to the testicles, caused by bacteria. Acute orchitis in children is usually caused by the mumps virus.

Your examination: Similar to epididymitis, but the redness of the testicles is not as obvious and intense. You can clearly see that one or both testicles are swollen and painful when pressed, and the scrotal skin is also obviously red and swollen, and feels hot to the touch.

Doctor's treatment: Since severe orchitis can cause loss of fertility, doctors will also use antibiotics in addition to painkillers.； In addition, a cold compress should be applied to the testicles. If doctors do not treat it properly in the acute phase, bacterial orchitis can form an abscess or evolve into chronic orchitis. To prevent recurrence: Children can be vaccinated against mumps.

Danger of orchitis

1. Cause other complications in men, such as prostatitis, varicocele, urinary infection, etc.

2. Orchitis that remains untreated for a long time will directly affect men’s sexual ability, reduce the quality of men’s sexual life, and in severe cases, male friends will completely lose their sexual ability.

3. Induce male infertility. The testis is the only place for sperm production. If a man suffers from orchitis without timely treatment, it will directly cause problems in the male's sperm production, leading to abnormal semen in the male, such as dead sperm and azoospermia, thus inducing the male to be infertile.

4. Untreated orchitis in men can cause gynecological diseases to their spouses. Since the inflammation is left untreated for a long time, these inflammatory bacteria will enter the female reproductive organs during sex, causing the female reproductive organs to be infected and inducing women to suffer from gynecological diseases.
