Main Symptoms of Penile Edema

Penile edema is simply swelling caused by extra fluid trapped in the skin and soft tissues of the shaft or foreskin. It can appear suddenly after surgery, injury, tight clothes, or even long flights. Puffy “donut” swelling is the hallmark. The shaft looks thicker, and the foreskin can balloon like a marshmallow—usually painless but tight. Skin feels tight and shiny. Erection or simple movement can make it feel as though the skin might split. Color stays normal early. Pink skin is just swollen; dark or purple areas need urgent review. Discomfort is dull. A heavy, dragging ache is common; sharp... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Penis Lengthening

Penis-lengthening surgery releases the internal ligaments and/or adds skin or fat to make the shaft appear longer. “Symptoms” are the normal post-op changes and early warning signs you need to watch while healing. Swelling and bruising peak in the first week. The shaft and pubic area look puffy and purple, then fade to yellow-green by week two. Aching tightness is common. A deep, pulling pain lasts a few days; sudden spikes can mean bleeding or infection. Skin color shifts. Grafts or flaps should pink up within hours; dark or black areas need urgent review. Numbness is expected at first. Pins-and-needles... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Penile Reconstruction

Penile reconstruction is a staged surgery to rebuild the penis after trauma, cancer, or congenital loss. “Symptoms” are really the post-op changes and warning signs patients need to watch for while healing. Swelling and bruising peak early. The new shaft looks puffy and purple for 1–2 weeks, then slowly softens. Pain is steady but fades. A deep ache and tightness last several days; spikes may signal a hematoma or infection. Skin color shifts. Grafts or flaps can look pale, dusky, or mottled—color should pink up within hours; if it turns black, call the surgeon. Numbness is normal at first. Pins-and-needles... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Undescended Testis

Undescended testis means one or both testicles never made it into the scrotum. The condition is spotted at birth and follows a clear visual pattern. Empty sac is the first clue. One side of the scrotum looks smaller or feels flat and soft, like an empty change purse. Groin lump may show up. The testicle can sit in the inguinal canal, felt as a small, movable pea above the scrotum. No pain is typical. The baby acts normally; the only sign is the missing ball. Swelling or hernia bulge can appear alongside the undescended testis, making the groin look puffy... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Hydrocele

A hydrocele is a painless collection of fluid around the testicle. Think of it as a small water balloon inside the scrotum—annoying, but usually harmless. Painless swelling is the key sign. One side of the scrotum gradually enlarges, often feeling like a smooth, squishy water balloon. Heaviness comes next. The extra weight makes the scrotum hang lower, especially after a long day on your feet. Size changes with gravity. The swelling is bigger in the evening and smaller after lying flat overnight. No sharp pain. You might feel a dull ache or a dragging sensation, but nothing that stops you... Learn more
