I'm experiencing a sharp pain on the lower left side of my chest whenever I hold my urine for a long time. I have a history of gastritis and kidney stones, and I'm also dealing with frequent urination and sneezing. Could there be a connection between these issues? I'm a bit worried.

The sharp pain on the lower left side of your chest could be related to muscle strain from holding urine or referred pain from your kidney stones. Given your history of gastritis, it's also possible that acid reflux or digestive issues could contribute. It would be best to consult a doctor to rule out any serious concerns and discuss your symptoms in detail.

I recently went to a urologist who told me my testicles are undescended and still in my lower abdomen based on an ultrasound scan. I'm 26 and worried it might be too late to fix this. Can you recommend a good doctor or hospital in Bangalore for this? Also, any idea what the surgery might cost roughly?

Surgery is the best option, we cant do anything much with medication, so go for surgery.

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?
