What Does Swelling Under The Penis Indicate?

Hi.. I m a male.. I had unprotected sex before 3 days and ever since something is swollen under my head of penis.. And the foreskin is not coming back to normal.. It is behind the head constricting it tightly and there is something swollen under the head. The swollen part is red, very sensitive and painful and doesn t seem to reduce in size. Please tell me how to treat the swelling on my own and bring the foreskin back to normal.

Hello,

In all probability, while doing unprotected sex, you have injured the frenulum, which is a sheath, seen when you retract the prepuce. It has blood vessels, and injury can lead to hematoma formation. This is the swelling you are feeling. If small, the hematoma will resolve in about one weeks time. If large, it would be better to formally incise it and let out the blood so that your recovery back to normal can be fast.

Please do consult a General surgeon or a Urologist, who can examine you and if required incise the hematoma under local anesthesia.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ajit Kumar Varma
