What to do if the scrotum is itchy due to dampness and heat

Scrotal itch caused by dampness-heat injection (dampness and heat invading the intestines, bladder, pubic area, lower limbs, etc.) can be relieved by treating the symptoms of dampness-heat in the liver and gallbladder meridians with Chinese herbal medicine or acupuncture. According to the basic theory of Chinese medicine, scrotal itch is mainly a clinical symptom caused by the downward injection of dampness and heat in the liver meridian. Since the liver meridian passes through the anterior pubic area, the downward injection of dampness and heat into the scrotum can be treated accordingly. In clinical practice, we can generally take medicines that can remove the damp-heat in the liver meridian (the liver meridian feels damp-heat evil), such as the representative formula Longguan Diarrheal Liver Tang and Qingguan Tang, etc.; we can also use acupuncture points in the liver and gallbladder meridian, such as the Liver Yu, the gallbladder Yu, the period door, the sun and the moon, etc., and use diarrhea as the method for the treatment of the needles. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to consult the hospital in time, under the guidance of a professional physician, so as not to delay the condition.
