Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Penis swelling.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had the penis swelling? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- Have you been circumcised? - If not, this increases the risk of phimosis and paraphimosis.
- Is the penis swelling unrelated to erections or passing urine? - may suggest balanitis or penile trauma.
- History of trauma or damage to the penis from physical injury? - e.g. cycling, horse riding, trauma during intercourse or oral sex - Injury to the penis may cause penis swelling.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Penis swelling) may include:
- Redness of the foreskin? - suggests Balanitis (inflammation of the foreskin). This may be due to bacterial infection or Candida infection. People with diabetes and infants with wet nappies are particularly prone to this problem.
- Symptoms of phimosis? - e.g. difficulty with passing urine, with ballooning of the foreskin as it becomes full of urine. It may be congenital and present in the first few years of life or be caused by scarring of the skin following infection or trauma. Adults may also complain of interference of erection and sexual intercourse. Recurrent balanitis (inflammation of the foreskin) is a common complication.
- Symptoms of paraphimosis? - e.g. foreskin is retracted, tight, swollen and painful. Typically occurs when the penis is erect. There is no interference with passing urine.
- Symptoms of Balanitis? - e.g. soreness, irritation and a discharge from under the folds of the foreskin, swelling of the foreskin. May be caused by complications of gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, candidiasis, herpes simplex, syphilis, Reiter's syndrome, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen planus or seborrheic dermatitis.
