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
Awal is a 4-year-old boy who lives in a rented apartment with his two siblings. His dad works as an electrician, and his mom is a tailor. The trouble started when Awal's mom noticed after he was born that his left testicle was missing from the sac in his groin area, and sometimes it swells up there. The doctors say he has a condition called left undescended testicle, which means the testicle didn't move down into its proper place. He needs surgery to fix it, but his family can't afford it because they don't have enough money. They've come to Helpster for free treatment.
Medical history
Awal was diagnosed with Undescended Testes, and his parent did not have the funds to treat. When he presented to the Divine Amazing Grace, having heard of the free treatment, he was examined and admitted for surgery. Surgical correction was performed successfully, and he recovered well. Later discharged home with his parent. They were happy and grateful to Helpster Charity.
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.
