“Diuretics and possible swelling?”
I am a type 1 diabetic. For the last week, I've been taking a diuretic for swelling in my feet and legs. In the last few days I've noticed some swelling in my penis, is that caused by the diuretic or something else?

Fluid accumulation can work its way up the body. Unless there is a problem with local infection, or strangulation due to not being circumcised, the diuretic should take care of the swelling. See your doctor if things don’t improve.
