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
Sulaimon is a 7-year-old boy, and he's the second child in his family. They all live together in a small one-bedroom apartment. A few months ago, Sulaimon's mom noticed that his right testicle was missing from the sac in his groin area, and he's been having stomach pains too. The doctors say he has a condition called right undescended testicle. He's waiting for treatment from Helpster, which is free.
Medical history
Sulaimon was diagnosed with undescended testes; he was admitted for surgical corrections. The surgery was done successfully and the child stayed in the hospital until full recovery. He was later discharged home, feeling much better, and the parent was grateful and happy.
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.
