Tanjina Akter B., 19

Tanjina is a 20-year-old hardworking woman who dreams of starting a small tailoring business at home to support her family. She lives with her parents, Zafar and Tajnehar , in a five-member household, while her husband works as a farmer earning only approximately USD 102 per month, making it difficult to manage household expenses and afford her medical treatment. The family learned about Helpster Charity through Md. Zakir , a staff member at Deshbangla Hospital, when Tanjina developed severe, colicky pain in the upper right abdomen that worsened after fatty meals and radiated toward her shoulder. She was diagnosed with biliary colic and cholelithiasis (gallstones) after diagnostic scans confirmed the condition. Without timely treatment, recurrent gallstone attacks may become more severe and potentially lead to serious complications such as gallbladder inflammation, bile duct obstruction, or infection, which may require emergency care.

With Helpster’s support, Tanjina Akter Bristy was admitted to Deshbangla Hospital & Diagnostic Center Limited on July 26, 2026, for severe biliary pain caused by cholelithiasis. On the day of her admission, doctors stabilized her condition and successfully performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy to remove her gallbladder. She received attentive post-operative care and spent a total of eight days in the hospital before being discharged on August 02, 2026. She went home with prescribed oral antibiotics, pain relievers, and anti-reflux medications to complete her healing. The treatment was a complete success, leaving Tanjina fully recovered, free from painful abdominal attacks, and able to resume her daily life in good health.

According to the treating physician, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Lap Chole) is recommended to remove the gallbladder containing the stones and prevent recurrent biliary pain. With successful surgery and appropriate postoperative care, Tanjina is expected to recover well, with relief from abdominal pain and improved ability to eat and perform her daily activities. If left untreated, gallstones may continue to cause recurrent painful attacks and can lead to complications such as acute cholecystitis, bile duct obstruction, infection, or pancreatitis. In severe cases, these complications may become life-threatening and require emergency treatment.
