Mariam, who is 30 years old, lives in Monabih district. She got married 7 years ago, and she had three abortions previously. However, she did not seek for any medical consultation. Later on, she decided to visit monabih hospital after her third abortion. Monabih HC is located in Monabih, district in Sa’dah governorate which is assisted by YFCA operational implementations and UNFPA fund. After the clinical examination, lab test and ultrasound, the doctor told her that she had Fibroids which are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb (uterus). Unfortunately, many women are unaware if they have fibroids or not because fibroids do not have any symptoms. In addition, women with fibroids are much more likely to miscarry during early pregnancy than women without them (14% vs. 7.6%). Therefore, she advised her to undergo surgery to remove them.
Mariam was afraid and anxious, but the doctor reassured and explained to her about the complication that she may suffer from if she neglected this issue. For instance, continuous bleeding that may cause anemia.
Finally, after the operation and her complete recovery, she became pregnant for the fourth time. Now she was fully aware of the importance of the monthly follow-up of her condition with the doctor.
Today, she is leaving the hospital with her first child, and she is extremely happy.
Thank you, Dr. Rana, and Monabih’s hospital medical team. I appreciate everything you have done for me.” Mariam said gladly.
