The scrotum, located mainly below the root of the penis, is a thin, soft, multilayered pouch structure with thin, soft, dark brown scrotal skin. Thigh friction causes the scrotum to deepen in color and the surface is covered by a small amount of pubic hair.
The scrotum is a skin pouch divided by a septum into left and right interstices containing the testes, epididymis and part of the spermatic cord. The scrotum has a high degree of mobility, which protects its contents from or minimizes mechanical injury. The scrotum is a continuation of the abdominal wall, and its layers are similar to the layers of the abdominal wall, but the scrotum has no fat under the skin, and there is a layer of sarcomere composed of muscle fibers and superficial perineal fascia (equivalent to the superficial fascia layer of the abdominal wall), and the three layers are closely connected.
In addition, the scrotum skin is rich in sweat glands and sebaceous glands, close to the anus, easy to cover the dirt and dirt, easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, patients are advised to pay attention to scrotal hygiene and change underwear frequently. If there is any abnormality, go to the regular hospital for timely consultation and treatment.
