I've been having an issue with the skin on my penis, specifically where it connects underneath it's only about 1 cm attached, and it feels too tight. Everything else seems fine, but when I'm having sex, it gets painful because the skin can't pull back all the way. I looked it up and think it might be a tight frenulum. The pictures I found online match exactly what's going on with me. Would surgery be the right fix for this?

It's possible you have a tight frenulum, also known as frenulum breve, which can cause pain during sexual activity and difficulty retracting the foreskin. While a surgical procedure, known as frenuloplasty, might be an option to lengthen the frenulum, it's best to discuss your concerns and potential treatment options with a doctor. They can properly assess your condition and determine the best course of action for you

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having this needle-like pain in my abdomen, mainly on the right side. I'm not sure if it's appendicitis or something else. One doctor mentioned it could be appendicitis, but another said it might just be gas. Also, I've been told I have a renal calculus that's 0.4 mm in size. What should I do next? Any advice would be great.

I recently noticed a lump about the size of a bee under the skin on the shaft of my penis. It's not painful at all, even when I press on it, but I'm a bit worried. Could this be something serious?
