Ease Saeeda Bibi’s Pain With Hernioplasty
Saeeda BiBi's Story
Saeeda Bibi, a 54-year-old woman from Lahore, has been suffering from abdominal pain and umbilicus swelling for a few years. On examination, doctors found a lump in the umbilical region. Despite receiving symptomatic treatment, her lump grew in size and became severely painful. She consulted another doctor and underwent some diagnostic tests and an ultrasound scan. After a comprehensive evaluation, she was diagnosed with Paraumbilical Hernia. Her doctor recommended mesh Hernioplasty with a lipectomy.
Due to the extreme and persistent pain caused by her umbilical lump, Saeeda faces many challenges while performing daily chores. Saeeda Bibi works as a housemaid and his husband and son are daily wage earners. The combined family’s monthly income is PKR 25,000. With this meager monthly income, they pay utility bills amounting to PKR 5000 as well as PKR 7000 for rent. They live in a small one-room rented house.
A family member told her about Transparent Hands, and she requested financial assistance to undergo the required surgery.
She expressed her heartfelt plea as follows:
“I feel helpless as I have been bearing this pain for a long time. I don’t want to be a burden on my family. Every day, I dream of a better life, but we are facing financial hardships. I request you to help me overcome this pain.”

Saeeda BiBi's Story
Saeeda Bibi, a 54-year-old woman from Lahore, had a lump in her umbilical region which was giving her extreme discomfort and pain. She received symptomatic treatment but nothing provided lasting relief. Over time, her lump increased in size and took a toll on her physical and emotional well-being. After suffering for a while, she decided to take advanced medical advice. She consulted a doctor, who, after running some diagnostic tests and an ultrasound scan diagnosed her with Paraumbilical hernia and advised mesh Hernioplasty with Lipectomy. Unfortunately, Saeeda’s family couldn’t afford the surgery.
Saeeda lives in a small rented house with her husband and five children. Saeeda works as a housemaid, her husband and sons are daily wage laborers. However, the family’s monthly income was insufficient to cover even their basic needs. Due to their financial constraints, paying for the surgery was significantly challenging for them. However, Saeeda desperately needed the surgery as her pain became unbearable, leaving her drained. After struggling for a while, she learned about Transparent Hands and asked us for help. We listened to her concerns and registered her case.
On 7th August 2024, Saeeda was admitted to Lahore Care Hospital. The surgery was scheduled on the same day. Dr. Ahmed Fawad, an experienced surgeon, performed her Mesh Hernioplasty and Lipectomy. Following surgery, Saeeda stayed in the hospital for two days and received post-operative care.
On 9th August 2024, she was discharged from the hospital in a stable condition. Saeeda expressed her gratitude as follows:
"Every day I feel stronger and more hopeful. Your support has lifted my spirits and given me the courage to heal. I can’t express how much your generosity means to me. You’ve made a real difference in my life.”
The successful surgery has enabled Saeeda to take care of her children and manage her household tasks without any discomfort or pain. She can now live a healthy and struggle-free life.
