The scrotum is mainly composed of the testes and epididymis.
The testes are an important part of the male reproductive system, located within the scrotum, and are primarily responsible for producing sperm and male hormones. The epididymis, adjacent to the testes, is where sperm matures and is stored. The scrotum is an external structure whose main function is to protect the testes by regulating temperature, as sperm production requires a temperature environment slightly lower than body temperature. Although the testes and epididymis are located inside the scrotum, when we talk about organs on the scrotum, we usually refer to the portion of the testes and epididymis located just outside the scrotal opening.
To maintain the health of the reproductive system, pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, keep the genitals clean and dry, and avoid using strong cleaning products. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures, such as taking long hot baths or wearing tight pants, as high temperatures can interfere with sperm production. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle habits, such as regular sleep patterns, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise, will help maintain the health of the reproductive system.
