I've had an undescended right testicle since birth and now at 22, I've been having mild lower right abdomen pain for the last 23 days. The ultrasound didn't show appendix or kidney stone issues, but my doctor recommended surgery for the undescended testicle. Is the surgery safe at my age? What's the usual cost and recovery time?

Yes, orchiopexy (surgery to fix an undescended testicle) can be performed safely at your age, though ideally it's done earlier in childhood. The surgery is generally considered safe and effective in adults as well, but there might be a slightly increased risk of complications due to the testicle's longer time outside the scrotum. The cost can vary widely, but expect it to be in the range of Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 70,000

I'm thinking about getting circumcised mainly for hygiene and how it looks but I'm a bit nervous about the procedure. Can you tell me more about bloodless circumcision and what the cost might be? I've heard mixed things and want to understand what to expect.

I'm having this really sharp pain every time I pee, like it feels like my clitoris is about to explode. The pain is so intense around that area and my lower abdomen, but it goes away pretty quickly. Theres still some mild pain in my abdomen even after Im done. What could be causing this?

This could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking an antibiotic such as Ciprofloxacin. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine, to help relieve the pain and discomfort while urinating. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
