“I hope my son will be without pain after his surgery,” shares Theara’s mother. Theara is a two-year-old boy who lives in Cambodia with his parents and sister. He likes drawing pictures and watching TV.
Recently, though, it has been hard for him to enjoy even these favorite activities. Theara has a hydrocele, or build-up of fluid, in his right testicle, which causes him frequent pain. Theara’s mother says he cries often, and it distresses her that there is nothing she can do to console him.
Theara’s mother traveled with him for three hours to the Children’s Surgical Centre, Watsi’s medical partner in Cambodia, to seek treatment.

Let’s help Theara get healthy!

Theara successfully received hydrocele repair surgery.
Theara’s surgery was a success and he’s doing great! Post-surgery, Theara is now at home resting with his family. It will take him about seven to ten days of thorough rest before he begins to feel better, at which point he’ll be able to move around again, though careful not to lift anything heavy for a few months. Theara is on track to be fully healed within two month’s time.
His mother says, “I’m really happy to see my son’s pain has stopped and he can walk properly now. Thank you for helping my son.”
