Abdul A., 5

Abdul Aziz, a 5-year-old boy, lives with his parents and six siblings in a small makeshift shelter, where his father’s irregular income as a day laborer is not enough to meet basic needs, making medical treatment unaffordable. He is a bright and hopeful child who dreams of becoming a teacher, but his painful condition has made him quiet, weak, and unable to eat or play properly. He has been suffering from recurrent swelling and severe pain due to an inguinal hernia, which now requires urgent surgery. His parents and siblings are deeply worried but feel helpless due to their financial hardship. They learned about Helpster Charity through volunteer Abu Sayeed and sought help, as without timely treatment, his condition may worsen, leading to severe pain, intestinal complications, and life-threatening risks.

Abdul Aziz, a 05-year-old male child, was admitted on 18.04.2026 with complaints of right-sided scrotal swelling, associated with intermittent groin pain and swelling for one year at Orion Hospital through Helpster volunteer Abu Sayeed. On admission, a thorough clinical examination and necessary investigations were performed to confirm the diagnosis. The patient was diagnosed with a right-sided reducible incomplete direct hernia and subsequently underwent herniotomy (inguinal hernia repair) under General Anesthesia. Post-operative care, including pain management, wound care, and follow-up, was provided to ensure full recovery. He remained hospitalized for four days, and the operation was performed on 20.04.2026. The patient was discharged on 22.04.2026 in a stable condition with medications, dietary advice, and follow-up instructions. The treatment expenses were fully supported by Helpster Charity, and the family expresses sincere gratitude to Helpster, its volunteers, and the hospital team for their kind support and care.

Doctors have recommended a herniotomy (inguinal hernia repair) to correct Abdul Aziz’s condition and prevent further complications. With proper postoperative care, including pain management, wound care, and regular follow-up visits, he is expected to make a full recovery and return to normal childhood activities without pain or restriction. The procedure will relieve his recurring discomfort, improve his appetite, and allow him to grow and play like other children his age. However, if left untreated, the hernia may become trapped or obstructed, cutting off blood supply to the intestine and leading to a life-threatening emergency. Timely surgery will not only restore his health but also protect his future well-being and development.
