Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

About urology
"Undescended testis," also known as "cryptorchidism," is a condition in which one or both of a male infant's testicles have not moved down into the scrotum, the sac of skin below the penis, as they normally do during fetal development.

Background
Raheem is a 13-year-old boy who enjoys playing football and reading books. When he grows up, he hopes to become a medical doctor. About two weeks ago, he started experiencing pain in his left groin, as reported by his mother.
Medical history
Raheem had a successful Orchidopexy, with no complications and with a good prognosis for recovery. He has been discharged home on the 30th of October 2023.
Prognosis
Treatment for undescended testis typically involves surgery, known as orchiopexy. During this procedure, a surgeon relocates the testicle from its abnormal position in the abdomen or groin into the scrotum. This helps promote normal testicular development and function. Treatment is essential to prevent long-term complications, especially if the condition is identified in early childhood.
