Patient's question:
A few days ago, I noticed clear-edged, slightly raised red spots on my penis. Over the past few days, they have gradually expanded, with scales falling off and an intense itching sensation starting yesterday. Some of the red spots have gradually turned from red to purplish-red. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as scrotal inflammation. How is scrotal inflammation caused?Doctor's answer:
The causes of scrotal inflammation in men include: fungal infections such as candidal balanitis, tinea cruris affecting the scrotum, which can cause scrotal itching; lack of vitamin B; neurodermatitis and eczema in the scrotal area; dirty close-fitting clothing, and other reasons. Scrotal inflammation not only can lead to an increase in sexual function in patients but can also cause varicocele. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely and appropriate medication, and maintain a regular sexual life in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
