Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Hello doctors; I am 33 years old this year, and I have recently experienced low libido and damp scrotum. Is it possible that I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The scrotal area is naturally a sensitive region with abundant sebaceous glands and poor ventilation, which can easily lead to dampness. Additionally, patients with prostatitis often experience damp scrotum symptoms. Further examination, including a routine prostatic fluid test and a prostate ultrasound, is recommended. Patients should pay attention to the following points:1. Avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy foods, and excessive consumption of fatty meats. Overindulgence in greasy, rich, and spicy foods can exacerbate damp-heat conditions, worsening the symptoms.
2. Wear loose underwear to ensure airflow and facilitate heat dissipation.
3. Maintain good hygiene in the genital area by washing and changing frequently.
