Abstract
A 1 yr epidemiologic study of penile venereal edema in a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases identified 25 cases, a rate of 1.7/1000 male visits. Twenty-four patients had coexisting urethritis (36%), infected penile lesions (36%) or both (24%). Men with penile edema were significantly more likely to have gonococcal urethritis (40%), genital scabies (12%), genital herpes (12%) and inguinal adenopathy (52%) than men without penile edema. Penile edema is self-limited and seems to resolve along with the underlying penile disease. Lymphatic involvement may be the final common factor.
