What Causes Swelling In The Penis?

I have had several cysts in my scrotum for years. I fell on my hip 5 days ago and 3 days ago the largest cyst started swelling rapidly. 2 days ago it started draining some. Then later that day my penis started swelling. The emergency room put me on antibiotics yesterday and have an appt with a urologist tomorrow. I m very concerned about what is causing the penis to swell. I am also on coumadin for a blood clotting disorder and wonder if this could be a factor.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In Short: It may be a haematoma(bleeding)

Explanation: As you are on anti coagulants, and had fallen down bleeding might have caused your cyst and penis to swell. You have gone for emergency help is well and good. Wait for your urologist and be patient.
No need to worry, you will be alright.
