My elderly Morgan gelding has had sheath swelling problems in the past. I believe that it is directly related to exercise, and indirectly related to weight. The more he moves about, the better his sheath is. When I ride him 4-5 times/week, he has no problems, and as a result of the exercise, he also stays fit. In really bad weather, he gets time off, gains weight, and his sheath swells.
