Help Muwannis Smile Again by Supporting His Hydrocele Surgery

Muwannis Hassan's Story

Muwannis Hassan, a 4-year-old boy from Qasimabad, Hyderabad, has lived with a painful lump in his right groin since birth. About a year ago, his condition worsened, and the swelling and pain began to trouble him more often. His parents took him to a nearby doctor for evaluation. After a clinical examination, laboratory tests, and further investigations, the doctor diagnosed him with a right hydrocele, a collection of fluid around the testicle that causes swelling in the groin and scrotum. In children, it usually happens when a small communication that should close before birth stays open. To close this passage and give him lasting relief, the doctor has recommended right-sided hydrocele surgery (PPV ligation). Unfortunately, his family cannot afford the operation. If this surgery is delayed, Muwannis may continue to suffer from pain and swelling that make it hard for him to play, sit, and move comfortably like other children his age. If the passage remains open, the swelling can keep growing, and a loop of intestine may also slip into it, leading to a hernia that could require emergency surgery. Timely treatment is important to protect his health and future.

Muwannis’s father, Hassain Ali, works as a daily-wage laborer and earns approximately PKR 20,000 per month. He is the sole earning member of a seven-member family and supports five children, four of whom attend government schools. The family lives in a two-room house and spends about PKR 2,500 each month on utility bills. After covering food, schooling, and other essential expenses, his income leaves nothing for Muwannis’s surgery.

Hassain Ali shared his heartfelt plea:

“When my son cries from pain and holds onto me, I feel helpless as a father. He is so small, yet he has carried this pain since the day he was born. I only want to see him run and laugh freely. Please help my child get this surgery.”

Muwannis has lived with this discomfort for much of his young life. Your support can help his family afford the recommended surgery and change his life.
