I recently realized I have an undescended right testicle I can feel it just above the penis on that side. Is it still possible to descend the testicle at my age? If surgery is an option, how do I bring this up with my parents? Also, will having one testicle affect my sperm count or sexual health in the long run? Can I still have a normal sex life with just one?

Yes, surgery (orchiopexy) may still be an option depending on your age and the position of the testicle—consult a urologist for evaluation. It’s best to discuss this openly with your parents as it’s a common condition. Having one healthy testicle is usually enough for normal sperm production and sexual function. Most men with one testicle lead a completely normal sex life and can father children.

View allI'm 58 and have been married for over 30 years but dealing with a tight foreskin that won't retract, causing pain when forced. Sex is still possible with the foreskin, though it's affecting my sexual life. We have two healthy kids, but now I'm wondering if circumcision is needed at my age, especially since I've had type 2 diabetes and been on insulin for 20 years. What's your advice?
Maintaining good hygiene of the penis is very important if you are suffering from phimosis. Good hygiene practices help wash off the dirt and sweat and help in preventing the growth of microbes. The glans and the foreskin should be washed and dried gently. Cotton wipes and swabs can also be used for the purpose. This will prevent further worsening of the condition.However, if you are facing a lot of problems in your sexual life because of phimosis, consult a specialist

just had successful RIRS surgery for my 11 and 14 mm kidney stones what medicines or precautions should I take to prevent them from coming back
To prevent the recurrence of kidney stones after successful RIRS surgery, focus on hydration, dietary changes, and medication as recommended by your doctor. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, aim for 3 liters (5.2 pints) or more, to help flush out minerals. Limit animal protein, sodium, and sugary drinks. Medications like alpha blockers (like tamsulosin) or potassium citrate may also be prescribed to prevent stone formation

I'm 24 and about to get married, but I'm really worried because my penis is still small like a child's. The foreskin hasn't retracted properly, and it's painful when I try to pull it back. It doesn't seem to reach its full size either. Is there any surgery or treatment that can help increase the size? I'm really scared about how this will affect my married life. What should I do?
normal norhing to worry ok.
