What causes swollen penis in sexually active and circumcised men?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

Please help me with a few details so that I can understand your situation better:

1. Are you diabetic or hypertensive?
2. Do you smoke?
3. Why and when were you circumcised?
4. Does this swelling only appear when you have an erection, or is it present in a flaccid penis?
5. Do you have any trouble passing urine?
6. Is there any history of you using a ring of sorts during intercourse or masturbation?
7. Have you had any scans or tests done?

Please revert with the following details.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

Your condition does not seem like cancer in any shape or form. However, there is some abnormality, which may be like an AV (arteriovenous) malformation. I suggest you get the following tests: Ultrasound penile Doppler or uroflowmetry. These tests will help analyze your condition better. Please provide further information on:

1. Do you have any pain in the area? In a flaccid or erect state?

2. Are your erections normal at the moment as they were before?

3. Is there any recent history of medication intake or an insect bite?

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.

Hello again Thank you for reverting back with the details. Yes, it is possible that the cut has caused an infection and inflammation around your penis. Especially since you’re now saying that it is calming down. It would be wise to get those tests regardless to rule any abnormality out. I wound also recommend you take some anti inflammatory medication - paracetamol ibuprofen - 1 tablet twice a day x 3 days to help reduce the swelling further. These can be easily bought over the counter at the pharmacy. Hope this puts your mind at rest. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
