Patient's question:
I am a 17-year-old boy. Recently, my testicles have started to itch for about half a month. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of scrotal itching is eczema of the scrotum. This is related to excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, neglecting cleanliness, and excessive sweating. It is recommended to wash daily, change underwear frequently, and expose underwear to sunlight or boil them in water. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
