Zakir Awaits Lateral Sphincterotomy to Overcome Pain

Zakir Ali's Story

For the past year, 27-year-old Zakir Ali from Karachi has been experiencing unbearable pain and discomfort. What started as occasional discomfort has now become a daily struggle. He suffers from severe pain while passing stool, accompanied by bleeding and persistent perianal discharge. Zakir went to a local hospital and consulted a doctor.  After performing a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed him with a chronic anal fissure – a small tear in the moist tissue that lines the anus. The doctor recommended lateral sphincterotomy surgery as the only solution to relieve his suffering. However, financial constraints have turned his hope for recovery into uncertainty.

If Zakir does not undergo surgery soon, his condition will continue to deteriorate. The pain may intensify, making even basic tasks unbearable. Prolonged fissures may lead to chronic infections, abscess formation, and the development of anal fistulas, which are far more painful and complex to treat. 

His ability to work and provide for his family will be compromised, increasing their hardships.

Zakir lives in a small rented house with his family, struggling to make ends meet. As a laborer, he earns only PKR 20,000 per month, out of which PKR 5000 go towards house rent and PKR 1500 for utility bills. The remaining amount barely covers their daily expenses, making it impossible for him to save for the much-needed surgery. Despite his hard work, his limited income prevents him from seeking medical care that will change his life. Every passing day, he watches his health decline, knowing that he cannot afford the treatment that can bring him relief.  During this challenging time, Zakir turned to Transparent Hands and asked for assistance.
