Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Scrotal moisture is not necessarily due to yin deficiency. In most cases, scrotal moisture is caused by physiological factors such as excessive sweating or tight underwear, but it may also result from pathological conditions such as varicocele, scrotal eczema, or prostatitis. When scrotal moisture occurs, patients should undergo examination to identify any specific underlying disease. If no particular condition can be identified, treatment may follow traditional Chinese medicine approaches for kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency.
