Mohammed J., 6

Mohammad Junaiyed is a cheerful and caring 5-year-old Rohingya boy who lives with his parents and younger brother in the Kutupalong Refugee Camp, where he enjoys learning and dreams of becoming a teacher. His father is the family's only earning member, working as a day laborer whenever work is available, but his irregular income is not enough to meet even their basic needs, and the family depends largely on World Food Programme assistance for survival. After learning about Helpster Charity during a medical outreach program at Kutupalong, his parents sought help when they realized they could not afford the surgery their son urgently needed. Despite every effort, the family has no savings and no access to nearby government surgical services. Without timely surgery, Junaiyed's congenital inguinal hernia may become trapped or strangulated, cutting off the blood supply to the intestine, while his phimosis may lead to recurrent urinary infections, urinary obstruction, severe pain, and other life-threatening complications requiring emergency surgery.

Mohammed Alam, a 3-year-old refugee boy, was admitted to Orion Hospital on 21.09.2026 through Helpster volunteer Md Younus with left-sided groin and scrotal swelling that increased during crying or straining, intermittent pain and discomfort, and swelling that reduced on lying down or with gentle pressure. Following clinical assessment and diagnostic confirmation, he was diagnosed with Left-Sided Congenital Inguino-Scrotal Hernia. He underwent Left Inguinal-Scrotal Herniotomy under anesthesia on 23.09.2026, followed by postoperative pain and infection management, fluid therapy, counseling, and regular follow-up. After five days of hospital care, he improved satisfactorily and was discharged in stable condition on 26.09.2026. 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.

The recommended treatment includes immediate hospitalization, detailed clinical assessment, diagnostic confirmation, followed by left inguinal herniotomy with circumcision under anesthesia, along with postoperative pain control, infection prevention, fluid therapy, regular follow-up, and supportive care. With timely surgery and appropriate postoperative management, Mohammed Junaiyed is expected to recover fully, experience relief from pain and urinary symptoms, and return to his normal daily activities with a healthy quality of life. If left untreated, the inguinal hernia may become incarcerated or strangulated, cutting off the blood supply to the intestine and causing bowel obstruction, intestinal gangrene, severe infection (sepsis), or even death. Untreated phimosis may also lead to recurrent urinary tract infections, urinary obstruction, and long-term urinary complications
