Farah Awaits Hysterectomy

Farah Ayaz's Story

Farah, a 41-year-old widow from Karachi, has been suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and dysmenorrhea for eight years. Living with ongoing health issues drains Farah emotionally and physically. Farah finds it hard to manage her household and care for her children. She tried to manage her condition with over-the-counter medicines but found temporary relief only. Later, she decided to consult a specialist, who ran some medical tests and an ultrasound scan and diagnosed Farah with Uterine Fibroids – abnormal growths that develop in or on the uterus. To improve her quality of life, the doctor advised hysterectomy but the cost of the surgery is out of Farah’s reach.

If her condition is left untreated, she may develop anemia, which may make her even weaker and more susceptible to infections. Additionally, fibroids can grow and potentially lead to cancer.

Farah’s husband passed away four years ago, and she lives with her two school-going daughters. Farah’s family provides her with financial support of approximately PKR 10,000 per month. With this money, she pays PKR 2500 in utility bills and PKR 3500 in educational expenses. Her husband’s death placed her in a difficult financial situation. Adding to her concerns is her chronic illness, which she cannot afford to treat. During this time of need, Farah turned to Transparent Hands and asked for help.

Farah expressed her heartfelt plea as follows:

“I’ve been bearing this pain for a long time and I just want relief now. My financial situation is challenging and I can’t afford to pay for my surgery. I request you to please support me during this hard time.”
