Many elderly women in Achham found suffering alone from uterine prolapse and other illnesses

At a recent health camp, two women in their 80s revealed years of silent suffering from uterine prolapse, worsened by poverty and family neglect.

An 80-year-old from ward 2 of Panchadewal Binayak Municipality in Achham lived silently with a prolapsed uterus for two decades. She finally revealed the painful truth during a health camp organised at the local health post last week. The octogenarian had hidden the condition for years—even from her family.
