Every month, she bled.
And every month, she grew weaker.
What began as heavy periods gradually became a medical emergency. She would soak through pads within hours. Sometimes she couldn't leave the house. Sometimes she couldn't get out of bed.
The fibroids in her uterus were causing severe blood loss.
Her haemoglobin dropped dangerously low.
Eventually, blood transfusions became a regular part of her life.
Imagine planning your month around hospital visits.
Imagine feeling dizzy every time you stand.
Imagine your heart racing because your body lacks the oxygen it desperately needs.
This is the reality for many women battling severe fibroids.
Anaemia caused by excessive menstrual bleeding can become life-threatening if left untreated.
Sadly, many women continue to suffer because they lack access to healthcare, financial resources, or information about treatment options.
At My Gynae Foundation, we have encountered women whose lives depend on repeated blood transfusions while they wait for life-saving surgery.
Behind every statistic is a human being.
- A mother.
- A daughter.
- A sister.
- A friend.
No woman should have to choose between paying rent and paying for surgery.
No woman should have to wait until her condition becomes critical before receiving care.
Through advocacy, awareness, and support, we can help ensure that more women receive treatment before reaching crisis point.
Early intervention saves lives.
And every woman deserves the chance to live fully, not merely survive.
