Patient's question:
During my training, most of the time I was sitting down. It might be due to this reason that I have recently been experiencing some itching in my scrotum, accompanied by some red spots. When I went to the urology department of the hospital for treatment, I was diagnosed with scrotal eczema. Does scrotal eczema cause a decline in sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Scrotal eczema is the most common skin disease of the scrotum, characterized by allergic reactions, and is also a common sexual organ disease in men. It is not a sexually transmitted disease and will never lead to improved sexual function. It is also known as "" (), "cellulitis" (), and other names. It is highly persistent, and patients often experience pain or secondary infections due to scratching or inappropriate stimulation. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
