The doctors had the pleasure of operating on Boule, who is 45 and has had prolapse for the last four months. They were able to address her prolapse as well as tie her tubes as she is done with child bearing and getting pregnant again might cause her prolapse to return. She has six children and she was accompanied by her husband! Everyone has to wear masks now but they were able to coax her into taking her’s off for the photo.

From Dr. Nate on June 2, 2020: “I know it’s been a troubling time for so many people. With the pandemic and now all of the racial issues and riots throughout America, it’s just a very heavy time for us all.  That’s why I think everyone will immediately smile when they see the picture of Alane today! She was SO excited to come in yesterday to be evaluated for her prolapse and to find that we could help her with surgery!! She is 65 (at least) and has six children. Her marital story is a little complicated by the fact that her husband has 4 other wives and she is the 5th. She has great joy in the children and grandchildren that God has blessed her with. She’s suffered from her prolapse for the past 1.5 years and is now prolapse free! She’s recovering and should be traveling back home on Thursday. As you can tell from her photo she is a beautiful fun woman!”

Amarech is 55 and married. Incredibly, she has given birth to 11 children and eight are still alive. She’s had her prolapse for one year.  You probably noticed the large skin tag that she has on her forehead. The doctors asked if she would like it removed during the surgery and she said, “Yes!”  So they were able to take care of that as well during the case and she is recovering and doing nicely!

Surgical Success Stories - Desalech & Azabech (#331 & 332)

This is Desalech who is 45 years old. She’s married and gave birth to nine children, six of whom are still alive. She’s been suffering from her prolapse over the past three years and is now prolapse free!

The doctors had the privilege of operating on Azabech. She’s only 35 but had developed fairly severe prolapse over a short period of time. She actually came in accompanied by her husband which was wonderful, but somewhat unusual for the prolapse patients. If they have a husband he usually stays at home and works while he awaits her return. They have five children together and they are all alive and healthy. Thank you for helping Azabech!
