    Cold and damp testicles and glans may be related to poor local blood circulation, moist scrotal syndrome, chronic prostatitis, varicocele, diabetic neuropathy and other factors, which can be alleviated by improving living habits, drug treatment, physical therapy and other methods. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to clarify the cause of the disease and carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

    1. Poor local blood circulation

    Sitting for a long time, compression from tight clothing, or low temperature environment may cause blood circulation in the perineum to be blocked, which is manifested as a decrease in skin temperature and a moist feeling. It is recommended to avoid sitting for long periods of time, choose breathable cotton underwear, wash with warm water every day and keep dry. If it is accompanied by numbness or pain, vascular disease needs to be investigated.

    2. Damp scrotum syndrome

    Hypersecretion of sweat glands or fungal infection can cause persistent dampness and low temperature due to evaporative heat loss. It may be related to endocrine disorders and obesity, and is manifested by excessive sweating, odor and itching. You can use miconazole nitrate cream to fight fungi as directed by your doctor, or take vitamin B complex orally to regulate metabolism. At the same time, you need to keep the area clean and dry.

    3. Chronic prostatitis

    Pelvic congestion and inflammation can radiate to the perineum, causing abnormal temperature perception and moisture, often accompanied by frequent urination and lower abdominal distension. It may be related to bacterial infection and prolonged sitting. You can take tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules as directed by your doctor to improve urination, and use hot compresses to promote blood circulation. If necessary, perform a prostate fluid examination.

    4. Varicocele

    Impaired venous return will cause an imbalance in scrotal temperature regulation, resulting in a cold feeling and accumulation of sweat, which may cause swelling and pain when standing. The diagnosis needs to be confirmed by color ultrasound. If it is mild, you can wear Tuomai Lin scrotal support pants. If it is severe, high spermatic vein ligation should be considered to avoid damage to testicular function.

    5. Diabetic Neuropathy

    Long-term poor blood sugar control can cause peripheral nerve damage, leading to abnormal temperature perception and perspiration disorders. It is necessary to monitor blood sugar levels, use methylcobalamin tablets as directed by the doctor to nourish the nerves, control diet, and strengthen care of the feet and perineum to prevent infection.

    You should avoid smoking and drinking on a daily basis, reduce your intake of spicy foods, and choose loose and breathable clothing. You can take a warm sitz bath for 10-15 minutes every day to improve circulation, but the water temperature should not exceed 40°C. If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks or skin ulcers, abnormal urination, etc. occur, you need to go to the urology department immediately. If necessary, special evaluations such as hormone level testing and neuroelectrophysiological examinations should be performed. Maintaining a regular schedule and moderate exercise can help enhance the body's metabolic function.
