A one-year epidemiologic study of penile venereal edema in a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases identified 25 cases, a rate of 1.7 per 1,000 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.
一项针对一家性传播疾病诊所阴茎性病性水肿的为期一年的流行病学研究确定了25例病例，每1000名男性就诊者中的发病率为1.7。24名患者同时患有尿道炎（36%）、阴茎感染性病变（36%）或两者皆有（24%）。阴茎水肿患者患淋菌性尿道炎（40%）、生殖器疥疮（12%）、生殖器疱疹（12%）和腹股沟淋巴结病（52%）的可能性明显高于无阴茎水肿的男性。阴茎水肿是自限性的，似乎会随着潜在的阴茎疾病一起消退。淋巴管受累可能是最终的共同因素。
