I've been diagnosed with gallstones and my USG report shows them clearly. What symptoms should I watch out for that might mean I need to get my gallbladder removed? Sometimes I get this sharp pain under my ribs after eating fatty foods but it goes away - is that a sign surgery might be necessary?

My nephew is 9 and has had undescended testis since birth. The government hospital recommended surgery but I want a second opinion. Should I see a pediatrician, pediatric surgeon, general surgeon, or urologist for this?
For undescended testes, a pediatric urologist or pediatric surgeon is ideal. Surgery is usually needed before age 1–2. Delay increases cancer and fertility risks.
