What is the cause of scrotal dampness?

Patient's question:

Scrotal dampness for 3 months without seeking medical attention

Doctor's answer:

Hello, scrotal dampness is classified as damp-heat accumulation in the lower body in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Generally, scrotal dampness may be related to prostate diseases. It is recommended that you actively undergo a prostate examination to determine the specific condition and receive symptomatic treatment.
Pay attention to keeping the area clean and dry. In daily life, maintain a light diet, avoid cold and raw foods, and reduce the intake of spicy, fishy, and pungent foods.
