What Could Be The Cause Of Swelling In Penis And Scrotum With Discomfort In Abs?
I have recently noticed swollen skin around the base of my penis and slightly down into the scrotum. As far as I can feel, nothing is painful. It feels puffy almost, but I have no idea how this could occur. I'm 19 with no sexual partners and exercise regularly. After an intense lower ab workout, my abs have been sore; I even felt discomfort standing fully straight up. I don't know if it is relevant, but this condition is very recent. Any help would be awesome

No other associated complaints,it's more likely to be idiopathic penile and scrotum oedema.
There is no cause of concern and it subside over couple of days.
Hot seitz bath will help in faster resolution.
I hope it helped

Hi,dear.If you are doing workout daily, then it sometimes causes high pressure in the abdominal cavity while lifting weight or doing strenous exercise.So sometimes it causes abdominal contents to pass in scrotum which is known as inguinal hernia.So you are supposed to visit a surgeon as soon as possible.No need to be worried about because it is curable.have a nice time.
