Is scrotal moisture a normal phenomenon?

Scrotal moisture is a relatively common phenomenon in males, and whether it is considered normal depends on the specific circumstances. Generally, because the scrotum and pubic area are rich in hair follicles, apocrine glands, and sebaceous glands, some sweating and odor production are normal physiological occurrences. However, scrotal moisture may also be caused by certain medical conditions such as scrotal eczema, chronic prostatitis, or varicocele. These conditions can lead to elevated local scrotal temperature or impaired blood flow, resulting in dampness. In addition, unfavorable environmental factors or improper clothing choices may also contribute to scrotal moisture. Therefore, when experiencing scrotal dampness, it is important to observe whether other symptoms—such as itching or pain—are present. If there is any concern or significant discomfort, it is advisable to seek timely medical evaluation for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
