I'm 19 and have right-sided cryptorchidism that wasn't treated when I was younger because my parents didn't know about it. Now I'm worried what's the best option for me, medicine or surgery? Should I go for orchiopexy or orchidectomy?

my urologist recommended surgery for phimosis but I'm not sure if it's the best option or if there are any side effects I should be worried about
It's understandable to have concerns about surgical options for phimosis, especially when you're unsure about the best course of action or potential side effects. Surgery for phimosis, often circumcision, is generally recommended when non-surgical treatments like steroid creams or manual stretching haven't been successful, or if the phimosis is causing significant problems like recurring infections or pain. Potential side effects of circumcision include infection, bleeding, and scarring, but these are usually manageable
