Right testicle isn't descended according to the sonography report - should we be worried about this? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we can try first? My main concern is whether this could cause problems later if left untreated

If the testicles don't descend by 6 months, it's very unlikely they will without treatment. In this case, a surgical procedure called an orchidopexy will be recommended to reposition one or both testicles. The operation should ideally be carried out before your child's 12 months old.

Hey, I'm a bit concerned about my situation. I started off okay but then got pretty wrapped up in masturbation and now I'm dealing with PE. Plus, I'm kinda hooked on porn too. Do you think if I change my diet to stuff that's healthier it might help, or should I definitely see a homeopathic doctor about this?

While eating healthy is always beneficial, it is unlikely to be the sole solution to your concerns. It would be helpful to address the underlying causes, including possible psychological factors, through a combination of medical consultation, therapy, and lifestyle changes. Consulting a homeopathic doctor may be a good option if you're looking for an alternative approach, but its important to consider a comprehensive plan that includes medical, psychological, and behavioral components for the best outcome.
