You will know he is padding the bill when he all of a sudden discovers a double hernia and fixes it while he's in there. This happened to me and my brother.
In my case, at 10 or 11, it was identified during a school physical. The school wouldn't let me take gym without it being fixed for some reason???

You It doesn't sound like one of those things that you have to be wheeled into the emergency room for right away. [/ QUOTE ] Testicular torsion is a true surgical emergency. The boy is at increased risk for this condition. Sounds like they are Medicaid-eligible, as well, which might make this an affordable proposition. I think you are combining refractile testes and true undescended testes in your comments.

Re: No balls in my son\'s sack. He\'s 6. Surgery needed?
I'm sorry, as I say, I'm no expert and no doctor. My understanding was merely that he had undescended testes with nothing wrong with them. If he had something already wrong going on besides the simple lack of descent, I definitely wouldn't be saying perhaps you could wait a few weeks or a couple of months. I was just thinking that if there's nothing going on that isn't a true emergency or immediately significant, the financial consequences of surgery to an unemployed guy could be fairly devastating. If he can qualify for Medicaid or something, that would change things too. I wouldn't want him to leave his son sick or injured, of course.

Re: No balls in my son\'s sack. He\'s 6. Surgery needed?
I was just trying to make the distinction between lack of descent (ever) of his testes (which is something that ought to be taken care of sooner rather than later if possible) and retractile testicles (which strongly tend to pop back up...due to an exagerration of a reflex called the cremasteric reflex).
If it's the former case, then I think you are presenting far too cavalier an attitude about it. If it's the latter, then I'm considerably less concerned.
