my 6-month-old baby has undescended testicles on both sides - is there any way to treat this without surgery or will he need an operation? I'm really worried about putting him through surgery at this age

For undescended testicles in a 6-month-old, surgery is typically recommended if the testicles haven't descended on their own by that age. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, leaving them undescended can increase the risk of future health problems

I'm really worried because my 5-year-old has been having loose motions since yesterday. We have Econorm sachets at home, but I'm not sure about the right dosage for her. Could you advise me on how much I should give her?

You can give one sachet two times a day

I'm really concerned because my 7-month-old baby poops right after feeding. We're giving her a diet that includes cerelac and milk. Is it normal for her to poop so soon after eating, or is there something we should be worried about?

It is quite common for babies to have bowel movements after feeding, especially when they are consuming milk or cerelac. This is because the gastrocolic reflex is stimulated by the intake of food, leading to bowel movements. However, if your baby's stools are consistently watery, contain blood, or if your baby is showing signs of discomfort or distress, it is important to consult a pediatrician. In the meantime, you can try giving your baby Simethicone drops to help with any gas or discomfort. Remember to always consult with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.

Hey, I'm 15 and sometimes I masturbate. I've noticed that my height isn't really increasing. I'm currently 5 feet 6 inches and I'm wondering if this could be the reason why I'm not getting taller. Is this something I should be worried about?

Masturbation does not have any direct impact on your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and overall health. If you are concerned about your height, I recommend focusing on maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep to support your growth.
