Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 20month old son (uncut) has a very swollen penis, there is no discharge, but it is tender. It looks almost as if he has a lump just below the foreskin. The foreskin is very red and swollen also. What could be the problem and what should I do about it? Thanking you in advance.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This is most probably paraphimosis. This occurs due to stretching of foreskin of penis region. You should get the child examined by surgery specialist as soon as possible. If left untreated the swelling increases and blood flow decreases in the penile region.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
