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'm just dealing with this constant pain every time I pass urine. I did a urine test, but it came back normal. My doctor suggested an ultrasound, and it turns out my bladder wall is thickened. I've been on medication from the doctor for a week now, but there's no improvement. This has been going on for about 6 months. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of bladder wall thickening. To help with this condition, you can try taking Tamsulosin. This medication can help relax the muscles in the bladder and prostate, making it easier to urinate and reducing pain during urination and to help reduce bladder spasms and improve bladder function. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm really worried because my urine culture test showed an E. coli count of 80,000, and it's been like this for a while now. My urologist prescribed antibiotics a few months back, and after taking them for two weeks, the count went up when I stopped. The medicine was switched, but now Im seeing E. coli again. I got an ultrasound KUB which turned out normal and did semen cultures as well, which showed another infection. Even after another round of antibiotics, the infection was still there. Ive been experiencing sharp abdominal pain and sometimes in the rectum, with my urine smelling bad. Why do I keep getting these recurring infections in both my urine and semen cultures? What could be causing this, and what tests should I consider doing next?
It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent E. coli infection that may not have fully cleared despite antibiotics. Chronic or recurrent infections can be due to incomplete treatment, an underlying issue like a urinary tract abnormality, or antibiotic resistance. It's important to consider a urine culture with antibiotic sensitivity testing, possibly imaging studies beyond ultrasound (like CT or MRI), and reviewing the semen culture results to address any underlying causes. A urologist or infectious disease specialist could help explore further options.
