Patient's question:
24 years old, male, often can't sleep at night due to itching in the scrotum, but he is afraid to scratch with his hand, very annoyed. How can scrotal dampness and itching be cured?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal dampness refers to the reappearance of excessive sweating, dampness, or a cool sensation on the surface of the scrotal skin without any visible changes, with some patients experiencing itching. If you have prostatitis, scrotal dampness may also be related to this condition. Scrotal dampness is associated with prolonged sitting, working in hot environments, and varicocele. Long-term overfatigue, physical weakness, and weak kidney function can easily lead to scrotal dampness in men; frequent sexual intercourse is also a contributing factor. Prolonged scrotal dampness can cause many serious diseases, such as diabetes, male functional loss, and testicular cancer. If you notice any issues, seek medical attention promptly. After identifying the underlying cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition.
