You Gave Sadia Relief from Perianal Fistula

Sadia Naz's Story

Sadia Naz, a 56-year-old woman from Karachi, had been suffering from an illness for the past two years. She experienced persistent perianal discharge, accompanied by pain, bleeding, and pus formation. These symptoms made everyday tasks extremely difficult and caused her constant discomfort. Despite the severity of her condition, Sadia delayed seeking treatment due to her financial limitations. As time passed, her symptoms worsened, and her quality of life declined. She finally visited a local hospital, where a doctor conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed her with Perianal Fistula – an abnormal passage between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. The doctor recommended a fistulectomy with a seton to eliminate the infection and excise the fistula tract. However, the cost of this necessary surgery was beyond Sadia’s reach.

Sadia is a divorced woman who lives with her brother in a modest home. Her parents have passed away, and she has no children to support her. Her brother is the only earner in the family and works at a private firm, earning just PKR 20,000 per month. His income supports a household of five people and is barely enough to cover the family’s utility bills, groceries, and daily expenses. Affording Sadia’s surgery was an impossible task for them. With no other options left, Sadia turned to Transparent Hands for help. After listening to her concerns, we promptly registered her case.

On May 4, 2025, Sadia was admitted to Murshid Hospital, Karachi. Dr. Mariam Azam performed the fistulectomy with a seton placement on May 5, 2025. After proper post-operative care, Sadia was discharged in stable condition on May 6, 2025.

With a grateful heart, Sadia said:

“I am thankful to you for helping me when I had no one else to turn to. The pain was unbearable, and I felt hopeless. Your support brought me comfort, healing, and a new chance to live a normal life.”

Since the surgery, Sadia is free from pain and able to manage her daily tasks with ease. Her health and dignity have been restored. This positive change in her life was only possible because of your generous contributions. Her family is thankful to you for making a valuable difference in Sadia’s life.
