tip of penis is swollen

I had sexual activity last night.  When finished I noticed swelling on my penis between the shaft and the head of my penis.  My foreskin would not retract back to it normal form either.  It's been about 12 hours now and the swelling has gone down some but I still have swelling on the tip of my penis.  It does not hurt its just discomforting.  What should I do?  Is there any home remedies I can try to get the swelling down?

The swelling has gone away, but my foreskin still hasn't returned to its normal form.  I still have no pain, though the tip of my penis seems to be a little wrinkled but the swelling has completely gone away.  One of the Dr.'s on another forum said to give it a day or 2 and it should return to normal.  What do you think?

Hi.

This may be a case of phimosis. I suggest that you seek consult with your primary physician .If immediate consult is not possible,bring yourself to the ER to have this assessed. This is just to make sure that circulation is not impeded. The swelling of the penile shaft may cause the foreskin to tighten around the shaft which may affect blood flow.

Sexual activity and manipulation may cause swelling or edema in the genitalia. So do not hesitate to seek consult at this point. You may need urgent intervention for this.
