Patient's question:
I am a 38-year-old woman and have been feeling quite tired recently. I have noticed some discomfort in my body, and I'm wondering if it could be due to this condition. Could you please answer the following question: Is penile edema after masturbation caused by masturbation?Doctor's answer:
During sexual activity, excessive force or improper technique can also injure the foreskin, leading to hematomas or edema. It is recommended to first apply a warm towel internally and then seek medical attention at a formal hospital's urology or andrology department. Individuals with a long foreskin that is difficult to retract or who have phimosis are prone to recurrent phimosis retraction during sexual activity or foot bathing, which can cause swelling of the foreskin and glans. In such cases, immediate medical attention is required for repositioning. Severe cases may require minor surgery, and it is absolutely crucial not to attempt to resolve the issue (on one's own) blindly to avoid delaying treatment. Over time, this can lead to glans edema, abscess formation, infection, and the development of lumps.
