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'm dealing with phimosis and a bit of frenulum breve, and it's causing issues during sex. Should I consider circumcision or preputioplasty? What would be the better option for me, and how much would the surgery cost?

Phimosis with frenulum breve may improve with creams and stretching; preputioplasty is less invasive than circumcision and often preferred.
