View allmy 6-month-old baby has undescended testicles on both sides - is there any way to treat this without surgery or will he need an operation? I'm really worried about putting him through surgery at this age
For undescended testicles in a 6-month-old, surgery is typically recommended if the testicles haven't descended on their own by that age. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, leaving them undescended can increase the risk of future health problems

I'm a bit worried about my 3-month-old baby. I've been feeding them both formula milk, specifically Lactogen, and breast milk since they were 2 months old. Everything seemed fine, but lately, I've noticed they've started having greenish stools for about a week now. I'm thinking about switching from Lactogen to Nan Pro. Is it safe to make this change? And why might their stools be green?
Marijuana does not directly affect HIV test results. HIV tests detect antibodies or antigens related to the virus, not substances like marijuana. However, if you're concerned about your HIV test result or CBC variations, consider the following: 1. _Window period_: HIV tests may not detect the virus if taken too early after exposure. The window period varies depending on the test type. 2. _Test sensitivity_: No test is 100% accurate. False negatives can occur. 3. _CBC variations_: Changes in your CBC results might be unrelated to HIV or marijuana use. To alleviate your concerns: 1. _Retest_: Consider retesting for HIV after the recommended window period. 2. _Consult a healthcare professional_: Discuss your test results, marijuana use, and any concerns with a doctor or counselor.
