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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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've been having to pee every 15 minutes and it feels like my bladder isn't emptying completely. My diabetes and UTI tests came back normal could this still be a urinary tract issue or something more serious that might need surgery?
Yes, frequent urination with a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, even with normal diabetes and UTI test results, can still be a urinary tract issue. It could be a sign of overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, or other problems, some of which might require surgical intervention.

I'm 23 and sometimes I struggle to control this habit. I've heard from others that doing this can mean losing sperm in the future, and it's really worrying me. Could you help clarify this for me?
If you are concerned about excessive masturbation or it is interfering with your daily life, you may consider reducing the frequency. It is important to maintain a healthy balance in all aspects of life. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation leads to loss of sperm or infertility in the future. It is a natural and normal part of human sexuality. If you have any concerns about your sexual health or habits, it is always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

how much does prostate laser surgery cost compared to hernia surgery and how long does it take to recover from each one also what are the possible risks or complications for both procedures
Prostate laser surgery costs more than hernia surgery, and recovery times are generally shorter for hernia surgery. Both procedures have potential risks, though prostate laser surgery may have fewer complications like heavy bleeding and extended hospital stays
