Should I Be Concerned As I Am Having Swelling In My Perineum?
Hi, I m having an issue with my perineum. I woke up on Monday and it seems to be swollen. It s not itchy at all and doesn t hurt when I pee. I can feel that it s swollen and its painful. It s like it protrudes further than it should. It hurts when I sit, stand or walk and especially when I sit on the toilet. I tried looking at it but it s such an occward angle. I was able to take some pics of it and it looks kind of red.

Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having some soft tissue infection in perineum area causing swelling and cellulitis.
There might be having forming abscess.
Go for one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines course for 3-5 days.
you can do cold sponge locally.
Ok and take care.
