    The scrotum is located behind the penis and at the root of the penis. It is darker in color, thinner and softer. It is separated by a room in the middle and is divided into left and right chambers, each containing testicles, epididymis, vas deferens and other organs.

    The scrotum is an important organ in men but not in women. This is also an important distinction between men and women. The testicles in the male scrotum are divided into left and right. The shape of the testicles will be oval. When you touch it with your hands, you will feel that the surface is smooth. It also has the function of producing sperm and male androgens. There is also an accessory organ in the scrotum, which is tightly attached to the testicles and has the effect of secreting nutrients and storing sperm. However, when a male spermatic cord has problems, such as varicocele, it may affect the quality of male sperm, easily lead to a decrease in sperm quality, and even affect the excretion of sperm fluid. In severe cases, it will also have a certain impact on male fertility. Therefore, after suffering from varicocele, you should go to a regular medical institution for examination and treatment in time to avoid aggravation of personal symptoms.

    Men also need to pay attention to the hygiene of the scrotum in their daily lives. They need to clean the area with warm water every day and change underwear. If local care measures are not taken, it may cause dirt and evil to accumulate under the scrotum, emit an unpleasant odor, and even cause local skin redness.
