I have cryptorchidism that wasn't treated when I was younger and now I'm 19 with no pain. What should I do next? Which hospital department handles this condition? Is there any medicine I can try with a doctor's guidance or is surgery my only option? Between orchiopexy and orchiectomy, which one would be better for me?

At your age, if you have cryptorchidism with no pain, it's essential to consult with a urologist or pediatric urologist. They can assess your specific case, discuss treatment options, and help you make an informed decision. While surgery is usually recommended, the specific procedure (orchiopexy or orchiectomy) depends on various factors, including the testicle's condition and your individual circumstances

I've been having issues with frequent urination lately and my test results showed low creatinine levels and borderline uric acid. I also have phimosis which I plan to get surgery for soon, but right now I really want to figure out what's causing the constant need to pee. Could this be related to my creatinine levels or something else?

Frequent urination may be due to infection, bladder issues, or other causes‚Äînot directly linked to low creatinine‚Äîurology review advised.
