Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. What causes one side of a child's penis to swell?Doctor's answer:
Penile swelling, also known as "earthworm wind" or "earthworm inflation," is an allergic swelling of the penile foreskin caused by children sitting or lying in wet places, or by touching the penis with dirty hands. It is characterized by inflammation and a shiny appearance of the scrotum and penis, resembling a small, inflated hydrogen balloon. It affects urination but does not cause symptoms such as fever, chills, or congestion locally. I believe everyone knows that urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light and nutritious foods, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
