Myint, a 52-year-old mother of four, runs a small flower shop. Our medical partner, Burma Border Projects (BBP), tells us she lives with her youngest daughter and son-in-law in Burma.
Three years ago, Myint was carrying a heavy object when she felt her uterus prolapse. This condition occurs when the muscles surrounding the uterus weaken, causing the uterus to shift out if its normal position.
Over time, these muscles continue to weaken. “Gradually Myint’s prolapsed uterus became bigger and she also experiences pain in her abdomen,” her doctor says. Due to this, Myint finds it hard to work and support her family financially.
For $1,500, Myint will receive a total abdominal hysterectomy. This operation will remove both her uterus and cervix, preventing the problem from returning in the future.
Once she undergoes surgery, Myint looks forward to returning to work, sharing, “I want to earn more money, be happy and healthy.”

Myint received a successful total abdominal hysterectomy.
“Following the surgery, Myint feels lighter and more comfortable,” the staff at Burma Border Projects shares. “She no longer feels pain in her abdomen and can sit down and get up easily. She really feels like she has regained her new life and can become a normal person again. She can do house chores and also help other friends around her house by taking care of their children when they are busy.”
“I am extremely grateful for the treatment,” Myint shares. “I first thought that I would not be able to recover and was too shy to travel. But now, I have recovered and I am no longer shy.”
