[|Human|] Hello I m a 81 year old uncircumcised male. Hospitalized recently with severe kidney infection and place on a levaquin drip for 4 days. Released and sent home taking oral levofloxacin and have noticed a severe swelling of my penis. I m unable to get out of bed to toilet but have a supra pubic catheter so urine is no problem but feces has been an issue. Wondering if swelling issues from oral levofloxacin or maybe balanitis from the hygiene issue from feces? Thanks
[|AI|]  Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: Renal infection can cause scrotal and sometimes penile edema. Explanation: As you were hospitalized for renal infection and were on treatment for that, your renal infection could have caused scrotal edema or penile edema.  It is unlikely that antibiotic causing edema at this juncture. Even balanoposthitis is a probability if it is only foreskin swelling.
