Is A Swollen Glans Penis, After Insertion Of A Catheter, A Concern?
Hi, I ve had a catheter in place now for 18 days (following prostrate cancer surgery). The glans behind the head of the penis is very swollen (glans?) Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to ease the discomfort? I am due back for a further check in 3 days.

Hi,
That may be due to paraphimosis. A condition in which retracted prepuce leads to venous congestion and swelling of glans.
Please visit your doctor immediately for a reduction of paraphimosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
