The prognosis for penile and scrotal oedema has several possibilities.
In the case of angioedema of various external causes, it may heal within a few days after removal of the cause; in the case of hereditary angioedema, it may be recurrent or may become less frequent in middle age.
In the case of filariasis, it can be cured if diagnosed and treated promptly. If it progresses to an advanced stage and elephantiasis develops, the oedema is irreversible, penile and scrotal oedema can have an impact on the patient’s quality of life such as sexual life, and oedema in the limbs and other areas can have a significant impact on the ability to work, and can also be fatal in combination with infection.
