Question : Im in good health. 5 days ago I was moving and lifting heavy objects as part of remodel. Two days later I noted swelling between my anus and scrotum that continued and became painful. Been using topical antibiotics, taking advil periodically, and prep. H. Swelling has been going down as has pain. Should I be doing anything additional?

Brief Answer:
Just don't force yourself.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX and thanks for using HCM.

I don't think you need to do anything else, as swelling and pain have gone away.

Just keep especially that area clean and do not lift any weights or force yourself for a couple of weeks.

Keep staying in good health.
Best regards.
