What should I do if my scrotum is damp and itchy?

If a male friend has a damp scrotum and itchy feeling, he should pay attention, because it may be that some diseases are affecting his health. Common diseases may affect his health, such as chronic prostate, scrotal eczema, spleen and kidney deficiency, etc. The specific cause needs to be investigated.

1. Chronic prostatitis

The most likely cause of scrotal dampness and itching is autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by chronic prostatitis. If the patient has symptoms of scrotal dampness and itching, as well as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, swelling and discomfort in the perineum, painful ejaculation, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and low back pain, then it is very likely that he has prostatitis.

Solution: The damp and itchy scrotum caused by chronic prostatitis will disappear as long as the prostatitis is cured. If the prostatitis is not treated thoroughly, the symptoms of damp and itchy scrotum cannot be relieved. In life, in addition to actively treating prostatitis, you should also pay attention to quitting drinking, quitting spicy food, keeping a cheerful mood, not holding back urine, and not neglecting physical exercise.

2. Scrotal eczema

The main symptom of scrotal eczema is itching, which will become more severe as the condition becomes more serious. If it does not heal for a long time and it is constantly scratched, thin scabs and scales may form on the scrotal skin.

Solution: Scrotal eczema is related to allergies. Some drugs that are effective for allergies, such as cyproheptadine and chlorpheniramine, can also be used to treat scrotal eczema. In addition, you should avoid scratching the itchy area to prevent the bacteria on your hands from irritating the scrotum. Do not use too hot water when washing, and do not use drugs casually. Some spicy foods, including onions, garlic, ginger, coffee, alcohol and other irritating foods, should be consumed less to avoid further deterioration of eczema.

3. Spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency

People with spleen and kidney deficiency are prone to scrotal dampness, which is due to the imbalance of water and moisture transportation. Moreover, such people often have loose stools.

Solution: People with spleen deficiency can eat more spleen-tonifying foods, such as potatoes, mushrooms, yams, chicken, chestnuts, lentils, honey, etc., which have a good spleen-tonifying and qi-invigorating effect. People with kidney deficiency should first distinguish whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, and then slowly adjust it. Do not rush or abuse kidney-tonifying products. Walking, jogging and other low-intensity exercises have a good auxiliary effect on the treatment of kidney deficiency.
