Patient's question:
[Male, 28 years old] It has been about three or four years. Every day, when sleeping during the night, there has been a sensation of dampness in the scrotum. Previously, I had a thorough examination of the prostate at the hospital, and the prostate was found to be normal. However, there are topical medications or sprays that can be used. Recommendations would be appreciated.Doctor's answer:
A 28-year-old male has had damp scrotum for three or four years. The prostate is normal. This condition can be caused by tight-fitting clothing around the scrotum that does not allow for ventilation, or by scrotal eczema. It is recommended to wear loose, comfortable, and breathable clothing, avoid acidic, spicy, and irritating foods, and refrain from eating fish, shrimp, and alcohol. It is also advised to have a thorough examination of the prostate. If inflammation is found, treatment should be provided. Prostate conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. It is also important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
