Ive been noticing some swelling on the lower left side of my waist whenever I eat or drink water, or even when I try to hold in my urine. It's kind of worrying me because there's no pain involved. Could you shed some light on what this might be and what kind of treatment I should consider?

The swelling on your lower left waist without pain could be due to constipation, water retention, or a possible kidney issue; consult a general surgeon for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, try increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and managing urine flow to alleviate symptoms.

Question

I'm a 33-year-old married guy who's been having some trouble with my sex life for about a year now. I used to be really into it, especially with my last girlfriend who was amazing in bed, but since she left, things have gone downhill. I can't seem to get an erection, or if I do, it doesn't last long. I only manage to have sex every couple of weeks, and even that's pretty rare. Lately, I can't sleep well and have been feeling kind of down. Masturbation doesn't help much either, at best I can do it once every few days. What can I do to get back to normal? I really need some advice.

Question

I've been having some trouble down there lately and it's starting to worry me. I've got these cuts on the inner joints of my penis, and it's making it really tough to pull back the skin. There's this big scar that's sometimes bleeding, and each time I pull the skin back, this white stuff builds up and I have to wash it away. This has been going on for about four days now. I've tried using Candid B cream, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm married, and I haven't had any unsafe sexual encounters. Interestingly, my wife's been dealing with some vaginal itching too, but she's fine now after using Candid B. Could you shed some light on what's happening with me?

Question

I've been having to urinate really frequently, and it's getting frustrating. I did a KUB ultrasound, and it showed that my prostate isn't enlarged, but my urine flow is still really poor. I'm currently taking velfu and macpee, but they don't seem to be helping with the flow. What kind of treatment would you suggest for this? I'm only 32, so I'm a bit worried about what's going on.
