Question 1

which type of uti cause penis swelling?

Accepted Answer

None!: A uti, or urinary tract infection, is an infection involving the bladder (mostly) and the urethra or kidneys (less often). It can cause burning and pain with urination, urinary frequency and urgency. The penis should not become swollen with a simple uti. Penile swelling could be due to skin infections, trauma, or edema (fluid build up in the body).

Question 2

Accepted Answer

: See the doctor or clinic where the circumcision was done. Do not try to self treat, and don't base treatment on advice from this or any other distant forum. Good luck.

Question 3

how can i reduce penis swelling the doctor gave me steroids but just started them yesterday. very swollen below the head how can i reduce it? thank yi

Accepted Answer

Time: The most common trigger to swelling of a flaccid penis would be a reaction to a bug bite or similar allergic response. The swelling is due to a leak of body fluid from deep capillaries into the tissue. Once this fluid accumulates, it can take days for the fluid to be retrieved by lymph channels and the swelling to dissipate. The steroid can stop the reaction, but resolution takes time.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Question 8

hi,
this morning i woke up and went to the bathroom and noticed the upper half of my penis was swelling and i am concerned as this has not happened before. it is as if it got wider overnight. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you.
You may watch and wait as what you experienced may be a transitory phenomenon.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Wish you good health!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Morning erection?: If you're describing erections, this is normal for a man your age, especially if you are not having frequent ejaculations (by yourself or with a partner), and it's fine. If you are describing something else, then perhaps you can clarify for us, or get with a urologist.

Question 10

what does it mean if i have swelling on lips of penis?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Swelling of lips of the penis (aka meatitis) is usually due to an inflammation or irritation.
