Jahid H., 9

Jahid Hasan is a 9-year-old kind and cheerful boy who enjoys playing games and participating in sports. He lives with his parents and elder brother in a small two-room tin house, while his father works as a farmer and earns only approximately USD 49–53 per month, making it difficult to support the family and afford Jahid’s medical treatment. For the past year, Jahid has suffered from persistent white discharge and pain around his umbilicus, but financial hardship has prevented his parents from arranging the surgery he needs. He was diagnosed with Congenital Urachal Sinus, and without appropriate treatment, the condition may continue to cause recurrent discharge, pain, and inflammation. The family learned about Helpster Charity’s free medical services through volunteer Jamilur Reza.

According to the treating doctors, Excision of Sinus with Repair under Spinal Anesthesia (SAB) will definitively treat Jahid Hasan’s congenital urachal sinus, eliminating the abnormal sinus tract and reducing the persistent umbilical discharge and associated pain. With timely surgery, he is expected to recover well and return to normal daily activities. If left untreated, the condition may lead to recurrent infection, persistent inflammation, abscess formation, worsening pain, and other serious complications. Therefore, early surgical treatment is essential to prevent further complications and protect his health and well-being.
