What Causes Swelling In The Penis Along With Yellowish Discharge?
My 3yr old son s pennis is swollen a bit and red color on one side. We also noticed a bit of discharge. He complained once of discomfort, however acts normally now. Does not seem to have any discomfort urinating. However the swelling and yellowish discharge is there. No fever at this time. Thank you
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, this could be due to insect bite or may be due to infection although chances of urinary tract infection is very less likely, if he is not circumcised then then this could be due to phimosis, excessive formation of "smegma" in such case clinical examination is very important for proper diagnosis and treatment, this may not be taken lightly, hope this information helps, take care.
