BAJURA, SEPTEMBER 10
Women from Muktikot Village of Swamikartik Khapar Rural Municipality, Bajura, have been suffering from uterine prolapse. Worse, they are compelled to live with the disease due to lack of treatment expenses.
A local Bal Bahadur BK said women could not express their pain and suffering and were compelled hide the disease.
Forty-two-year-old Roshi BK has been living with the disease for the past four years.
She has given birth to eight kids. Similarly, Thuma BK, 55, Okhadi BK, 42, Aasi BK, 52, Doila BK, Balsara BK, Lekhi BK and Khiri BK, among others of the village, have also been living with uterus problems.
Rural municipality Health Department Chief Bhakta Bahadur Kaila said that most of the women from 400 families in the villages had been suffering from the uterus problems.
Khiri BK is a mother of ten kids. She said that she was living with the uterus problems for the last ten years.
The problems behind the disease is that the women have given birth to multiple children and there is not much gap between the birth of the kids. The main cause of uterus prolapse is giving birth to multiple children. A local Bel Mati BK said that the women had multiple health problems. She said that the women hide the problems and live with the disease. The women get check-up facility in the village. But they have no money to go to hospital for further treatment. The women do not get proper diet, and proper health service for them is a far away thing. Meanwhile, Health Office, Bajura, Chief Mahesh Chand said women had been facing the uterus prolapse problems due to early marriage, hard work just after delivery, giving birth to multiple children and lack of awareness.
