Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Approximately 10% to 30% of individuals with unilateral undescended testis may experience infertility, with the risk escalating from 35% to 65% or higher for those with bilateral disease. If bilateral cryptorchid testes are left untreated, the infertility rate can exceed 90%.

View allMy dad has kidney stones one is 7mm and the other is 15mm. Because of the bigger stone, his kidney has swollen a bit. Is homeopathic treatment a good option here? Can it actually cure stones this size, and how long might it take? He's really scared of surgery should we still consider it or is there another way?
Since the stone is larger in size ,percutaneous niphrolithotomy (PCNL) and uretroscopy is the gold standard procedure advised. A nephrologist opinion is advised for report review and further management of the patient .

I've been dealing with some mild pain and discomfort in my perineal area for the past month. It kind of feels like something's trying to push its way out, and there's this sensation of stretching inside. I went to a urologist, but he suggested I see a neurologist instead. What could be going on with me?

I'm 24 and really concerned about my penis size, as it seems unusually small. When it's not erect, it's less than 2 inches. I'm wondering if there's a way to increase its size? Also, could you tell me what's considered a normal size for a penis both in an erect and non-erect state? I'd really appreciate some guidance.
The average size of a flaccid penis is typically around 3.5 inches to 3.9 inches, while the average size of an erect penis is around 5.1 to 5.7 inches. It's important to note that penis size can vary and is not necessarily an indicator of sexual function or satisfaction. There are some medications available that may help with erectile dysfunction and potentially improve blood flow to the penis, leading to firmer erections.
