Right testicle isn't descended according to the sonography report - should we be worried about this? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we can try first? My main concern is whether this could cause problems later if left untreated
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If the testicles don't descend by 6 months, it's very unlikely they will without treatment. In this case, a surgical procedure called an orchidopexy will be recommended to reposition one or both testicles. The operation should ideally be carried out before your child's 12 months old.

View allMy mom has been having really sharp pain on her left side and threw up a few times. The ultrasound showed a 7mm stone in her upper left ureter. Is surgery the only way to get rid of it or can medicines help pass the stone naturally?
While 7mm kidney stones often require intervention, it's not always surgery. Medication, like alpha-blockers, can help relax the ureter and aid natural passage, especially with supportive measures like hydration and pain management. However, depending on the stone's location, size, and your mom's overall health, surgery might still be the best option.

High blood pressure damages the blood vessels causing hard & narrow arteries and end result is less blood flow leading to erectile dysfunction.

My penis is about 11 cm and pretty thin which really bothers me. Are there any safe ways to make it bigger without going through surgery? I've been feeling really insecure about this and want to know what options I have.
While there's no guaranteed method to significantly increase penis size without surgery, some approaches may improve perceived size or erectile function, which can impact appearance. These include improving blood flow, overall health, and potentially using exercises like jelqing or Kegels
