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.

View allWhat's the safest surgery option for someone with BPH who also has heart issues and diabetes? I'm worried about complications and want to know how much each procedure might cost
For someone with BPH, heart issues, and diabetes, the safest surgery option would likely involve a minimally invasive procedure like Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP) or laser surgery (HoLEP or ThuLEP). TUIP is generally safer than TURP due to a lower risk of complications like bleeding and requires less anesthesia. Laser surgery offers less bleeding, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional TURP

I have a 2 mm renal calculus and I'm not sure what that exactly means. Is it the same as a kidney stone and does it need surgery to remove? Can medicines help treat it instead? What precautions should I take to manage this condition?
Yes, 2 mm calculus is a kidney stone; usually passes with fluids and meds—surgery is rarely needed.

I'm dealing with an issue where the head of my penis is really sensitive, and it's leading to premature ejaculation. I'm looking for advice on how to address this sensitivity problem. What's the best way to manage this?
One treatment option you can try is using a topical anesthetic cream containing lidocaine. You can apply a small amount of cream to the sensitive area about 10-15 minutes before sexual activity. This can help reduce the sensitivity and delay ejaculation. One brand you can look for is Stud 100, and the recommended dosage is to apply a small pea-sized amount as needed. Remember to wash it off before intercourse to prevent transfer to your partner.
