I've been having some kidney issues and though I'm not sure exactly what's going on, my doctor mentioned theres a problem. I'm thinking about adding flax seeds to my diet. Are they safe for anyone dealing with kidney problems? I'm really curious to know more.

Your symptoms suggest Phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract.

Consult a urologist or dermatologist for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Treatment options may include topical steroid creams, manual stretching exercises, or surgical procedures.

Your doctor will recommend the best course of treatment based on the severity of your condition.

In the meantime, avoid forcing the foreskin back, as this can cause further irritation and pain.

Seek medical attention to alleviate your symptoms and prevent potential complications.
