Patient's question:
Six months ago, I experienced dampness in the scrotum. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they diagnosed it as damp-heat prostatitis. I underwent ion treatment and received a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for more than half a month. After stopping the medication, I had another prostate examination about two weeks later, which returned to normal. However, the dampness and stickiness in the scrotum persisted, along with some fever and a heavy sensation. It was truly painful. Later, the doctor prescribed Liuwei Dihuang Wan, which slightly alleviated the heavy sensation. I then went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, where the doctor prescribed Longdan Xiegan Soft Capsules and Huangbai Capsules. So far, I have been taking them for nearly 20 days, and there has been only a slight improvement. At night, when I wear fewer clothes, the symptoms are almost gone. But during the day, as soon as I put on pants, I feel the scrotum becoming hot, sticky, and heavy, and the skin of the scrotum has become somewhat dark and red. Every nightDoctor's answer:
Hello: Excessive use of Chuanmu can lead to kidney failure, but the content of this drug is not very high, so it generally does not cause such consequences. Relying solely on clearing liver and gallbladder dampness to address scrotal dampness is not a solution. In fact, it is related to kidney yin deficiency. Yin deficiency gives rise to dampness and heat. Can we start by tonifying kidney yin deficiency to treat this condition? As everyone knows, prostatitis causes significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
