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
Esiayo is a 5-year-old boy, the youngest of 5 siblings. His father left the family, and his mother can't afford his medical care or rent. They're staying with their grandmother now. When Esiayo was 1 year old, doctors noticed one of his testicles was missing from his left scrotum. They said he needed surgery, but his mom couldn't afford it. Doctors diagnosed him with undescended testicles and said he needs surgery.
Medical history
The surgery was carried out as scheduled. The patient responded well to the surgery and the post operative management. Esiayo was discharged at the stable state of health.
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.
