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
Azeez is 12 years old and the fourth child in a family of 7. They all live together in a two-room house. His mom sells food like yams and plantains, while his dad works as a farmer. Azeez is a good kid and enjoys playing football. About 9 years ago, doctors noticed that Azeez didn't have one of his testicles in the usual spot. They said he has something called "undescended testes" and he needs to see a doctor for treatment.
Medical history
Azeez had a successful Orchidopexy, with no complications and with a good prognosis for recovery. He is fine now and he has been discharged home on the 7th of February 2024.
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.
