Waqas Haider Awaits Hernioplasty

Waqas Haider's Story

Waqas Haider, a 36-year-old man from Lahore, has been suffering from pain and discomfort due to a lump in his left groin region for the past ten months. With time, his lump has increased in size and become more painful now. He experiences discomfort and pain while sitting or lifting objects. He went to a nearby hospital and received consultation from a doctor. After performing some lab tests and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed him with a left inguinal hernia. It occurs when a part of the intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. To alleviate his pain and discomfort., the doctor advised left inguinal hernioplasty. However, the surgical cost is out of his financial reach.

If Waqas does not receive the surgery soon, his condition may lead to serious complications such as a strangulated hernia, where the blood supply to the intestine is cut off. This may cause severe pain, infection, and potentially life-threatening damage to his intestine, requiring emergency surgery.

Due to persistent pain, Waqas is unemployed and can’t provide for his family. He lives in a small rented house with his two family members. His mother teaches students at home and earns PKR 35,000 per month. They are surviving in extreme poverty and it’s challenging for them to pay for the house rent and utility bills with their insufficient monthly income. Waqas’s heart is filled with concerns about what would happen if he doesn’t get the surgery and continues to live with this disease. Waqas found hope when a neighbor told him about Transparent Hands. He reached out to us and asked us for help.
