A member asked:

Why would my husbands penis get swollen after sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Penis: Without examining him it is difficult to respond, but swelling usually occurs due to inflammation. This can occur with trauma, allergy to something you may be using vaginally, or overly aggressive sexual activity. If this continues and is disturbing go and have him see a doctor. Good luck.
