    A swollen penis can generally be treated with hot compresses, topical drugs, oral drugs, etc. to reduce the swelling.

    If the penis is swollen, local hot compress can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Hot compress can promote local blood circulation and achieve the purpose of reducing swelling and relieving pain.
