Nur I., 8

Nur Islam is a cheerful and polite 8-year-old boy who loves playing with his friends and dreams of going to school regularly to build a better future for his family. He lives in a small tin-made house with his parents and four other family members, where his father works as a daily wage laborer earning only about 6,000 BDT per month, which is not enough to support the family and pay for medical treatment. For the past two years, Nur Islam has been suffering from swelling on both sides of his groin, which recently became painful, and doctors at City Clinic diagnosed him with congenital inguinal hernia on both sides. The family learned about Helpster Charity through Sadika Rahman and sought help because they have no savings or property to arrange the cost of surgery. Without timely treatment, the hernia could become trapped or strangulated, which can cut off blood supply to the intestine and become life-threatening if not treated urgently.

The patient, Nur Islam was admitted to City Clinic on 12th April 2026. A successful Herniotomy operation was performed the same day. The child progressed well and were discharged on 15th April 2026 with proper postnatal advice. The patient and her family expressed heartfelt gratitude to Helpster, the dedicated volunteers, and City Clinic for their kind support and care throughout the treatment.

Doctors have advised that Nur Islam urgently needs a herniotomy with repair, a surgical procedure that can completely correct his inguinal hernia and save him from further complications. With timely surgery, the pain and swelling will disappear, allowing him to return to school, play freely with friends, and grow up healthy and strong. Doctors are optimistic that after the operation he will recover well and live a normal life without long-term problems. However, if the condition is left untreated, the hernia may become trapped and cut off blood supply to the intestine, leading to severe pain, infection, and internal damage. In such situations, the condition can quickly become life-threatening, making this surgery not only important but potentially life-saving for Nur Islam.
