Patient's question:
I had varicocele surgery when I was twenty-two years old. At that time, it was diagnosed as degree II. It has been two years so far, and I have been feeling damp in the scrotum. What could be the reason? What kind of medicine should I take? Preferably traditional Chinese medicine. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The patient is a young male, 24 years old. Two years ago, he underwent surgery for varicocele, after which he has continuously experienced dampness in the scrotum.The cause of the scrotal dampness and its treatment
The current answer to the scrotal dampness is that it is a symptom of prostatitis. Prostatitis itself can cause dampness in the external scrotum. In traditional Chinese medicine, the diagnosis of the condition may differ. For example, if you consult a TCM practitioner for this condition, they might tell you that you have kidney yin deficiency. However, Western medicine believes that kidney yin deficiency is caused by prostatitis. A more definitive and specific diagnosis would be that you have prostatitis. If a detailed examination of sperm function in the semen reveals that the sperm motility is still relatively good, then treatment is not impossible.
