What Causes Swelling In The Penis And Scrotum While On Amitiza?

My husband recently had a heart attack. His defib went off 31 times in 90 min. He was hospitalized. He is home now on hospice. He has new medicine Amitiza...which is helping him urinate. But his penis & scrotum (?) area are swollen...could he be allergic? Should we be concerned?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is not related to his Amitiza.

Consult a urologist and get evaluated.

We have to rule out possible causes like scrotal cellulitis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
