Patient's question:
3 months ago, there was dampness and a bad smell in the scrotum. Now it's itchy severely. How should I treat it? Does it affect sex?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal dampness does not necessarily indicate a pathological condition, so if there are no other discomforts, simply pay attention to local cleanliness and dryness. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, eat less raw and cold foods, and eat less spicy and fishy foods. However, scrotal dampness is often related to prostate diseases to some extent. It is recommended that you actively undergo a prostate examination to determine the specific condition and receive symptomatic treatment. Scrotal dampness falls under the category of "damp-heat in the lower part" in traditional Chinese medicine.
