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
Adeogo is a 6-year-old boy who comes from a family with not much money. He is the second child in his family. His parents work hard in low-paying jobs and earn less than the minimum wage. Three years ago, his parents noticed that his testicles were not in his scrotal sac. Doctors at the General Hospital diagnosed him with an undescended right testicle, but his parents can't afford the treatment he needs.
Medical history
Adeogo underwent a successful orchiopexy procedure on January 3, 2024, and was discharged from the hospital in stable condition on January 8, 2024. Since then, he has resumed his normal routine, attending school in the mornings and spending afternoons with his friends. Following his treatment, Adeogo has regained his energy and enjoys being active, often seen running around with enthusiasm.
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.
