I've been feeling some mild pain in my lower abdomen, around the groin area, and just above my penis. The weird thing is, it seems to ease up when I pass gas and there's just a lot of gas happening. I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with renal stones a couple of months ago. Could this be related to those stones, or is it something else?

Remedy suggestions:

1. Digestive enzymes: Take digestive enzyme supplements or eat foods rich in enzymes, such as papaya or pineapple.
