Patient's question:
25 years old, male, often can't sleep at night due to itching in the scrotum, and is afraid to scratch with his hand, very annoyed. Please ask what is the disease with a long history of masturbation and damp scrotum?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. Scrotal dampness is one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis and is also associated with prolonged sitting, working in hot environments, and varicocele. If you are a prostatitis patient, scrotal dampness is related to prostatitis. If you do not have prostatitis, you need to be examined and understand whether there are other underlying causes. Because scrotal dampness is caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction induced by prostatitis, it may intermittently recur and eventually disappear as the prostatitis improves and resolves. However, if the treatment for prostatitis is improper or inadequate, scrotal dampness will not disappear.
