Genital rejuvenation is applicable not only to women (vaginal rejuvenation) but also to men (scrotal rejuvenation). There is an increased awareness, reflected by the number of published medical papers, of vaginal rejuvenation; however, rejuvenation of the scrotum has not received similar attention in the medical literature. Scrotal rejuvenation includes treatment of hair-associated scrotal changes (alopecia and hypertrichosis), morphology-associated scrotal changes (wrinkling and laxity), and vascular-associated scrotal changes (angiokeratomas). Rejuvenation of the scrotum potentially may utilize medical therapy, such as topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, for scrotal alopecia and conservative modalities, such as depilatories and electrolysis, for scrotal hypertrichosis. Lasers and energy-based devices may be efficacious for scrotal hypertrichosis and scrotal angiokeratomas. Surgical intervention is the mainstay of therapy for scrotal laxity; however, absorbable suspension sutures are postulated as a potential intervention to provide an adequate scrotal lift. Hair transplantation for scrotal alopecia and injection of botulinum toxin into the dartos muscle for scrotal wrinkling are hypothesized as possible treatments for these conditions. The interest in scrotal rejuvenation is likely to increase as men and their physicians become aware of both the conditions of the scrotum that may warrant rejuvenation and the potential treatments of the scrotum for these individuals.
生殖器年轻化不仅适用于女性(阴道年轻化),也适用于男性(阴囊年轻化)。从已发表的医学论文数量可以看出,人们对阴道年轻化的认识有所提高;然而,阴囊年轻化在医学文献中并未受到类似的关注。阴囊年轻化包括治疗与毛发相关的阴囊变化(脱发和多毛症)、与形态相关的阴囊变化(皱纹和松弛)以及与血管相关的阴囊变化(血管角皮瘤)。阴囊年轻化可能会利用药物治疗,如局部使用米诺地尔和口服非那雄胺治疗阴囊脱发,以及采用保守方法,如脱毛剂和电解治疗阴囊多毛症。激光和基于能量的设备可能对阴囊多毛症和阴囊血管角皮瘤有效。手术干预是治疗阴囊松弛的主要方法;然而,可吸收悬吊缝线被认为是一种可能的干预措施,可提供足够的阴囊提升效果。对于阴囊脱发进行毛发移植以及向肉膜肌注射肉毒杆菌毒素治疗阴囊皱纹被认为是这些病症的可能治疗方法。随着男性及其医生意识到可能需要年轻化的阴囊状况以及针对这些个体的阴囊潜在治疗方法,对阴囊年轻化的兴趣可能会增加。
