For the past few days I have been experiencing what I thought to be constipation. It was very uncomfortable to defecate and therefore I have been extremely irregular. I noticed that my lower abdominal area appeared to be a little swollen... It almost appeared like I gained just a little "weight", but it is definitely inflammation. Then just a few minutes ago, I noticed that this swelling is creeping down my penis. It is about 1/3 of the way down the shaft of my penis...
HELP???
I'm not really really worried.
Umm ok now it appears that my scrotum is swelling as well...

Sounds like it could be a staff infection that's spreading.
In any case, you need to be seen by a doctor immediately.
don't wait.

I went to the doctor about this same thing very recently. From what the Dr. told me, its a sports hernia. The way mine came about is because I went from weighing 140 to 150 and it forms new muscles. In the meantime, I had been hitting the gym like crazy. It put a strain on the newly formed muscles in my ab area and causes immflamation. Its an easy fix, just have to take it easy for a couple of weeks; not lifting anything heavy.

@jjmed10. The you way you described your issue is exactly how mine is. Did you seek doctor's help ? How did it take yours to go away?

What did the doctor say? Was it serious? Did it go away on its own? If so how long did it take? Was surgery required?

I've got the exact same thing after an intense abs workout just a couple days ago, 3 days ago my lower abdomen had swollen up and the day after the bottom shaft of my penis. Recently the swelling in my shaft comes and goes however recently not as much, and the swelling in my lower abdomen has gone down a little.
Did you manage to find any info about it?

Hi.
Some potential causes of swelling in the lower abdomen and penis after a strenuous workout may include:
Muscle strain or injury: Intense abdominal exercises could have led to muscle strain or injury, causing localized swelling in the lower abdomen.
Fluid retention: Intense workouts can sometimes lead to temporary fluid retention, which may manifest as swelling in different areas of the body, including the penis.
Hernia: In some cases, intense physical activity might exacerbate or lead to a hernia, which can cause swelling in the lower abdomen.
Other medical conditions: There might be underlying medical conditions or factors unrelated to the workout that are contributing to the symptoms.
Since the swelling comes and goes, and the symptoms have lasted for several days, it's crucial to seek medical attention to rule out any serious underlying issues and receive appropriate guidance.
I strongly advise you to schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional, such as a urologist or a general practitioner, for a comprehensive examination and diagnosis. They will be able to assess your symptoms, conduct any necessary tests, and provide you with the best course of action based on their findings. Avoid any strenuous activities until you have been evaluated to prevent further aggravation of the symptoms.
