People with an active infection can take medications to kill the worms in the blood. These medications stop the spread of the illness to others, but they do not completely kill off all the parasites.

It depends on the cause of Elephantiasis. If it is due to Filariasis, then she can have recurrent lymphangitis and associated fever and leg pain. This can be prevented by taking a medicine called Banocide, once every 6 months. Please consult a general physician who can assess the condition and prescribe the correct dosage and duration of the medication.

Ayurveda works wonders in cleansing the blood by removing impurities and toxins, accumulated in various organs of the body such as the liver, intestines, kidneys, lymphatic system, lungs and skin. It is equally effective in case of both healthy and unhealthy individuals. While the unhealthy person gets rid of the chronic diseases, the healthy person becomes fit enough to prevent diseases and stay physically and mentally fit.

The medical examination for working abroad usually includes checks on general health, infectious diseases, physical fitness, and mental health. As long as the individual meets the health and fitness requirements set by the country of employment, the absence of testicles alone should not be a barrier to passing the medical exam.

Hello-
if the testicles haven't descended by 6 months, they're very unlikely to do so and treatment will usually be recommended. This is because boys with untreated undescended testicles can have fertility problems (infertility) in later life and an increased risk of developing testicular cancer.

Vaving one testicle since birth should not automatically disqualify you from passing a medical exam for a job in kuwait. As long as you meet the general health and fitness requirements set by the employer or the country’s regulations, having this condition should not be a hindrance to your employment prospects.

Hello-
most men's testicles are about the same size, but it's common for one to be slightly bigger than the other. It's also common for one testicle to hang lower than the other. The testicles should feel smooth, without any lumps or bumps, and firm but not hard.
