Kyoheirwe is a 60-year-old married mother to seven children, but with only three living. One child is a tailor and the rest are married and small scale farmers. She also earns a living through small scale farming however the money she earns from her farm can’t enable her to undergo her surgery.
Kyoheirwe arrived at the hospital with a history of postmenopausal bleeding. Her condition is associated with lower abdominal pain, backache and uterine prolapse. This has made her have a poor quality of life and if not treated, there may be a persistence of symptoms and complications like anaemia.
At Nyakibale hospital, she was advised to have an obstetric scan whereby a diagnosis of uterine prolapse was confirmed and a trans vaginal hysterectomy treatment was recommended as a treatment for the betterment of her health. She decided to come for help because she couldn’t afford the cost of her surgery.
