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

View allI'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel a burning sensation in my scrotum, but it's not constant. It kicks in after I've been driving for more than 30 minutes or sitting for a long time. I already talked to a dermatologist who suggested I try HH Zole ointments, but after using it for a week, I haven't seen much improvement. Could you please offer some advice?
The intermittent burning sensation in your scrotum, triggered by prolonged driving or sitting, may be due to a fungal infection, friction, or irritation; since the prescribed HH Zole ointment (an antifungal) was ineffective, consider consulting a urologist to rule out other conditions, such as epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection, and explore alternative treatments, like antifungal oral medications, steroid creams, or lifestyle modifications, including wearing loose-fitting clothing, avoiding tight underwear, and taking regular breaks to stretch and move during long drives.

Can doing masturbation every day lead to weak erections? Ive heard that excessive masturbation might have some side effects. Should I be worried if I'm experiencing this?
Excessive masturbation can lead to temporary weak erections, decreased libido, or desensitization, but it does not typically cause permanent damage; daily masturbation can lead to fatigue, decreased sensitivity, and potential negative impacts on relationships and daily life; other potential side effects of excessive masturbation include guilt, shame, anxiety, decreased focus, and neglect of responsibilities.
