Ease Yasmeen’s Suffering Through Hernioplasty
Yasmeen Muslim's Story
Yasmeen Muslim, a 62-year-old woman from Karachi, has been struggling with a painful lump near her navel for the past three months. As the swelling gradually increased in size, daily activities became more difficult and uncomfortable for her. Hoping to find relief, she visited a doctor, who carried out the necessary examinations and diagnosed her with a para-umbilical hernia. It is a condition in which tissue pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal wall near the navel. To treat her condition and prevent further complications, the doctor advised Mesh Hernioplasty. Unfortunately, the cost of the procedure is beyond her family’s financial means. Without the recommended treatment, Yasmeen’s condition may continue to worsen. The hernia can become more painful over time and may lead to serious complications, including bowel obstruction, strangulation of the intestine, infection, and severe abdominal pain. Timely surgery can help relieve her discomfort and prevent further health risks.
Yasmeen is a housewife and lives with her husband and two children in their modest home in Karachi. Her husband, Muslim Khan, works at a tea shop and is the only earning member of the family. He earns PKR 50,000 per month, which is used to cover household expenses and utility bills of PKR 5,000. The family is also struggling under a loan of PKR 1,200,000. After managing their everyday needs and financial obligations, they are left with no savings to afford Yasmeen’s surgery.
Yasmeen shared her concern as follows:
“Living with this pain has become very difficult for me. Even routine household tasks are no longer easy, and I worry that my condition will continue to get worse if I don’t undergo the surgery. My husband works hard to support our family, but we cannot afford my treatment. I need your support.”
