    Most men's scrotal dampness is caused by kidney deficiency and leakage of kidney qi. This can be improved by using traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions to replenish yang. Naturally, there are also other conditions, such as varicose veins and scrotal moisture. There is also severe dampness and heat in the body, especially for some patients with prostatitis. When cold-dampness is severe, scrotal dampness is also very likely to occur.

    What are the causes of dampness in the scrotum? 1. Too much dampness in the spleen

    From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, part of the cause of men's scrotal dampness is due to excessive spleen dampness. Our human body's water metabolism mainly consists of three internal organs, the first is the lungs, the second is the spleen, and the third is the kidneys. However, for some men with scrotal dampness, their spleen blocks digestion and absorption, resulting in food and water not being transmitted to every part of the human body very well.

    There are many reasons for spleen dampness. There are two reasons: nature and acquired nature. People born with genes inherited from their parents will have weaker spleen function. There is also an acquired cause, such as poor health, frequent illness, etc. These causes lead to severe spleen dampness. When the function of the spleen is not very good, the digestion and absorption function is not good, which affects the digestion and absorption of water in the spleen. This is why people with spleen dampness often have sugary stools. Some people with spleen deficiency are prone to dampness and coldness in the vagina and other organs. This is caused by poor digestion of water and spleen deficiency.

    2. Lower burnt heat and dampness

    Regarding the question of what causes scrotal moisture, dampness and heat in the lower part of the body are also one of the causes, and this phenomenon occurs due to factors such as climate and unclean diet. For example, people who like to drink alcohol or eat chili peppers often suffer from severe cold and dampness, spitting out the mouth, thick and greasy coating, sticky and yellow urine, and scrotal dampness.

    In addition to the dietary reasons, it is of course related to the climate. If it is often rainy, cold and humid, and people with spleen deficiency will have even more dampness.

    3. Chronic prostatitis

    You may not know that one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis is scrotal moisture. In addition, it is also closely related to long-term sitting and working in an overheated environment. If you are a patient with prostatitis, scrotal moisture is related to prostatitis. This is because the skin of the scrotum has more wrinkles, more sebaceous glands, better metabolism, and it is difficult for gas to circulate. Wearing tight underwear such as fiber underwear will worsen the breathability.
