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.

I've been dealing with prostate swelling for the past 7 years and I'm only 33. Been taking Flotral 10 mg daily but really want to find a way to manage this without surgery. Are there other treatment options or lifestyle changes that could help reduce the swelling long-term?
While you're already taking Flotral (alfuzosin), there are other options and lifestyle changes to consider for long-term prostate swelling management without surgery. Focusing on diet, exercise, and specific habits can significantly reduce symptoms and potentially the need for more invasive procedures.

How can you tell the difference between congenital phimosis and adult-onset phimosis? Also, does having phimosis mean someone is impotent? And is there a way to treat congenital phimosis without needing surgery, maybe using something like betamethasone cream?
Congenital phimosis is present from birth, where the foreskin cannot be retracted due to a tight opening, while phimosis in adults often develops due to scarring or infection. Phimosis is not considered impotence, as it primarily affects the foreskin's ability to retract, not erectile function. Betamethasone cream can be effective in mild cases of congenital phimosis by reducing inflammation and allowing easier retraction, but surgery may still be required for more severe cases.
