Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing testicular swelling and tenderness. The scrotal skin is also slightly red and swollen. After examination, it was diagnosed as orchitis. I'm wondering why there's severe itching under both testicles.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, fungal infection is a possible cause of tinea cruris. It is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene, maintain cleanliness and dryness of the affected area, prevent moisture, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid external influences. Follow a light diet and avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Topically, you can use calamine lotion for external application and then apply miconazole cream for treatment. Male genital diseases can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
