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've had two manual surgeries for kidney stones but they're still there 13mm on one side and 9mm on the other. I don't have pain right now, but I'm worried and wondering if laser surgery would be a better option to finally get rid of them. What do you suggest for a more thorough treatment?

Lithotripsy ,uretroscopy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotriosy (ESWL) are advised to the patient.

Each person reach their orgasm on different time. The average time from the beginning of intercourse to ejaculation is about five minutes. If it happens before 1 minute then it's usually considered as pre mature ejaculation which has many reasons.
