Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling that my scrotum is always damp, and I have to change my underwear every day. It also has a strong odor. I've heard from others that after the age of 35, the prostate starts to have problems. I'd like to ask if dampness in the scrotum is a symptom of prostate issues? What methods can help stabilize this problem?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent scrotal dampness may be caused by conditions such as prostatitis or scrotal eczema. It is advisable to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to diagnose the underlying cause. If scrotal eczema is present, topical medications can be applied for treatment. During this period, avoid drinking beer and consuming spicy foods to prevent worsening symptoms. Medications should be used under the guidance of a local doctor. For patients with prostatitis, daily treatment primarily involves symptomatic management. Oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, along with maintaining a regular schedule and avoiding smoking and alcohol, can help. We hope that prostatitis patients can recover quickly!
