How to treat testicles that are always moist

Testicular moisture can be improved by keeping the area clean and dry, wearing breathable underwear, avoiding prolonged sitting, drug treatment, surgical treatment, etc. Testicular moisture may be related to local hyperhidrosis, scrotal eczema, varicocele, fungal infection, chronic prostatitis and other factors.

1. Keep clean and dry

Wash the perineum daily with warm water and dry or dry it thoroughly after washing. Avoid using harsh lotions. You can choose weakly acidic shower gel for cleaning, and control the cleaning frequency to 1-2 times a day. Excessive cleaning may damage the skin barrier. After cleaning, you can use talc-free talcum powder to help absorb moisture, but you need to avoid the urethral opening.

2. Wear breathable underwear

Choose loose boxer briefs made of pure cotton or modal and avoid synthetic and tight-fitting briefs. You can choose to sleep naked at night to improve breathability. Change your sweat-soaked underwear promptly after exercise, as a humid environment can easily breed bacteria and fungi. Underwear should be changed daily and washed and disinfected with hot water above 60℃.

3. Avoid sitting for long periods of time

Get up and move around for 5-10 minutes every hour. Sitting for a long time will cause the perineal temperature to increase and sweat to accumulate. Drivers and other professional groups can use breathable seat cushions, and pay attention to adjusting your sitting posture to avoid excessive friction on the thighs when working. Obese patients need to control their weight, as fat accumulation in the groin will aggravate local moisture.

4. Drug treatment

For fungal infections, you can use bifonazole cream or miconazole nitrate powder as directed by your doctor.； Scrotal eczema can be treated with short-term topical hydrocortisone cream combined with zinc oxide ointment ； For severe cases of hyperhidrosis, local injection of botulinum toxin type A can be used. Bacterial infections require the use of antibiotic ointments such as mupirocin ointment, and the affected area needs to be cleaned before use.

5. Surgical treatment

For stubborn dampness caused by varicocele, high spermatic vein ligation can be considered. For those with chronic prostatitis and pelvic congestion, prostate microwave therapy can be tried. The indications for surgical treatment need to be strictly evaluated, and the wound needs to be kept dry and prophylactic antibiotics used after surgery.

Spicy foods and alcohol intake should be avoided on a daily basis as these foods may aggravate localized sweating. You can properly supplement the vitamin B family to improve skin metabolism, and choose sportswear with good moisture-absorbing and perspiration functions. If the humidity lasts for more than 2 weeks or is accompanied by itching, rash, odor and other symptoms, it is recommended to see a urology department or dermatology department in time. You need to be careful when using self-medication. Long-term use of some hormone-containing ointments may cause skin atrophy.
