Her stomach would remain bloated and that she could not perform the daily activities including eating, sitting, sleeping, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Lalita went to her sister\u2019s place in Godhra for treatment in the private hospital where the doctors diagnosed her with a tumor in her uterus and ovary. The doctors at the private hospital in Godhra gave the estimate of the operation worth Rs 3.50 lakh.<\/p>\n<p>However, Lalita\u2019s family decided to bring her to Surat, and that they visited the NCH for the diagnosis at the gynecology department on September 6. Lalita\u2019s family informed the doctors about their financial condition. The doctors performed sonography and MRI and found the jumbo tumor of \u00a08 kg in the uterus and 3 kg in the ovary.<\/p>\n<p>The doctors of the gynecology department at NCH including Dr. Dhwani Desai, Dr. Jay Choksi, Dr. Kuntal Prajapati, and Dr. Ekta Patel successfully operated on the tribal woman and removed both the tumors. A total of four bottles of blood were given to her during the surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Talking with TBT, Dr. Dhwani Desai, associate professor of the Gynecology department of NCH said, \u201cOur team is happy to perform this challenging surgery of the tribal woman. Lalita had two large tumors in her body at the same time, which were putting pressure on the intestines, including the uterus, ovaries, pancreas, and blood vessels. If the 11 kg tumor had not been removed, the patient would have been at the risk of cancer and death in the later stage\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Desai added, \u201cDue to unbearable pain, she was not able to sleep and eat and that she had lost about 15 kg weight. The amount of blood in her body was very less and that her hemoglobin had dropped to the level of 7.5. Now, Lalita can live a healthy and normal life\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lalita\u2019s brother-in-law Ashokbhai said, \u201cLalita is unmarried and that she lost her father a few years ago. They are three sisters. We are indebted to the doctors of the NCH for performing free surgery and giving\u00a0 her a new lease of life\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ends<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v3.2&#038;appId=1732452170262278&#038;autoLogAppEvents=1\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Surat: After rendering the best medical services during the coronavirus pandemic, the doctors and nursing staff of the New Civil Hospital (NCH) have added yet another feather in their cap.
