Patient's question:
Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms): A few days ago, I slept with gauze wrapped. After an erection, there was no swelling of the corpus cavernosum tissue. Please ask how to treat or care for it, and how long it will take to subside!Doctor's answer:
Penile edema is generally divided into two possible causes: one is due to frequent masturbation or sexual activity in a short period, intense stimulation, or prolonged sexual activity, leading to edema due to poor venous return. This will naturally subside without any issues. The other is caused by inflammation or infection, which requires antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment. Edema under the frenulum of the glans caused by masturbation is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment. It is important to avoid frequent erections and friction to help the edema subside quickly.
