Empower Sultan Shah with Lateral Sphincterotomy
Syed Sultan Shah's Story
Syed Sultan Shah, a 40-year-old man from Karachi, has been suffering from perianal discharge for the past 4 years. Sultan faces painful defecation and discomfort which makes it hard for him to have a normal and healthy life. His daily activities and work life are immensely affected by his illness. Sultan went to a local hospital to consult a doctor. After performing some lab tests, the doctor diagnosed him with a Fissure in Ano. It is commonly known as an anal fissure and is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. To relieve him of his discomfort and pain, the doctor recommended lateral sphincterotomy – an operation to treat an anal fissure. However, the cost of the surgery is out of his financial capacity.
If Sultan does not undergo lateral sphincterotomy for a fissure in ano, he may experience bowel movement issues, potential development of anal spasms, and significant lifestyle limitations. Over time, the condition may worsen, resulting in more complications such as infections and abscess formation.
Sultan lives in a two-room rented house with his wife and one child. He is a daily wage laborer and is the sole breadwinner of the family. His monthly income of PKR 22000 is insufficient to manage their house rent amounting to PKR 4000, utility bills as well as other living expenses. For Sultan, timely management of his chronic illness is a crucial concern but his financial hardships are making it impossible for him to undergo the surgery. A day came in Sultan’s life when a well-wisher told him about Transparent Hands. Sultan reached out to us and asked for help.
Sultan expressed his emotions as follows:
“I am experiencing severe pain that doesn’t allow me to concentrate at work. As the sole provider for my family, I’m afraid of losing my capacity to support them. Your donations can help me. Kindly support me in undergoing the surgery.”
This surgery is necessary for Sultan, who has been battling health issues for a long time. He deserves to live a pain-free and healthy life. We request you to be a source of hope during Sultan’s time of need. Only you can provide him with the opportunity to overcome his illness and enjoy an improved quality of life.
Join hands with us and contribute to Sultan’s recovery.
