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
Promise is the only child of the parents, who are both doing manual job. He loves to play with friends. His parents noticed only one of his testes was present in the scrotum, at the hospital they were told it was not descended and will require surgery to bring it down. They did not have enough money to do the treatment.
Medical history
Promise was admitted on account of undescended testis, and he underwent a surgery to resolve this condition. The surgery was successful with no complications. The boy stayed in the hospital for several days after a surgery for monitoring, and was discharged upon recovery.
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.
