From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the first type is what we call Yang deficiency and dampness. The second type is lower cold dampness, which may be caused by the imbalance of the function of human internal organs, or by the natural climate, or by an unclean diet, or by the inability to adjust the diet.

People with spleen deficiency will have even more dampness in the scrotum. The third is acquired imbalance, such as poor health, frequent illnesses, poor diet, or other such reasons.

When the spleen function is not good, the digestion and absorption function is not good, and it cannot moisturize. We say that the spleen can moisturize. The water cannot be absorbed, and some of it leaves the intestines. People with spleen deficiency often have diarrhea, and some people with spleen deficiency are prone to dampness in the scrotum. The water absorption is not good, which is caused by spleen deficiency. Dampness in the scrotum is not necessarily psychological distortion, so if there is no other discomfort, just pay attention to local cleaning and drying. Usually pay attention to light food, eat less cold food, and eat less spicy food. However, dampness in the scrotum may be related to prostate disease.
