A member asked:

What does it mean if your penis gets swollen after sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Penis swelling: If wearing condoms, you may be allergic to spermacide in condom. Also some vaginal lubricating jellies can cause irritation. If the swelling persists you may want to see a urologist for examination.
