View allI don't usually masturbate regularly, but when I do, I end up with this annoying pain in my lower back that sticks around for like a week or more. If I happen to do it again before the pain goes away, it just gets worse. The pain's really bothersome, making it tough to walk or even lie down comfortably. I'm thinking it might have something to do with my prostate gland, but I'm not really sure. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like the pain youre experiencing could be related to muscle strain or tension in your lower back, rather than directly involving your prostate. However, if the pain is persistent or worsening, I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions such as prostate issues, muscular problems, or nerve involvement. They can help provide a more accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.

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.
