Can women drink red wine during menstruation?

Moisture and odor in the scrotum may be related to factors such as insufficient local cleaning, fungal infection, bacterial infection, scrotal eczema, varicocele, etc., which can be improved by maintaining cleanliness, drug treatment, surgical intervention, etc.

1. Insufficient local cleaning

The scrotal skin has many folds and poor air permeability, so sweat and sebum can easily accumulate. If not cleaned in time, sweat and bacteria will mix and decompose to produce odor. It is recommended to clean the perineum with warm water every day, avoid using irritating lotions, dry it after cleaning and change to breathable cotton underwear.

2. Fungal infection

Fungi such as Candida thrive in moist environments and may cause ringworm of the scrotum. Usually accompanied by erythema, scaling, and severe itching. You can use miconazole nitrate cream, bifonazole cream and other antifungal drugs as directed by your doctor, while keeping the affected area dry.

3. Bacterial infection

Bacterial infections such as Staphylococcus aureus may cause scrotal inflammation, which may appear as redness, swelling, drainage, and a rancid odor. A doctor needs to prescribe mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid cream and other antibiotics for treatment. In severe cases, oral cefuroxime axetil tablets are required.

4. Scrotal eczema

Allergy or long-term friction may induce eczema, resulting in papules, oozing and obvious odor. Wet compresses with boric acid solution can be used in the acute phase, and hydrocortisone cream can be applied in the chronic phase to avoid scratching and aggravating skin damage.

5. Varicocele

Poor venous return will lead to increased scrotal temperature and increased sweat secretion. It may be accompanied by a feeling of bloating and needs to be diagnosed through scrotal color ultrasound. Mild cases can be improved by scrotal support, while severe cases require high spermatic vein ligation.

You should choose loose and breathable pants for daily use and avoid sitting for long periods of time or in high temperature environments.； Diet to reduce intake of spicy foods ； If symptoms persist for more than 1 week or ulcers, fever, etc. occur, you must go to a dermatology or urology department in time.
