Actress Fathima Babu undergoes emergency surgery after her COVID-19 recovery

Noted newsreader and actress Fathima Babu recently revealed that she was hospitalised after she experienced excruciating pain on her lower back. Fathima had tested positive for COVID 19 on May 1, 2021, and after a few days of recovering from the virus, she suffered major back pain and was diagnosed with kidney-related issues. Right after that, the actress underwent kidney surgery and is currently hospitalized at a private hospital in Chennai. Fathima added "Following that, the doctors recommended me to drink plenty of water on a regular basis. Water has the capacity to prevent the formation of stones within your body. The doctors recommended that I drink at least 3.5 litres of water on a daily basis. "I've begun drinking, and you do as well." 

In her Youtube video the actress said, "I tested positive for Covid on May 1st, and it was a brief one for me. I was back to normal in 5 days. My spouse Babu, on the other hand, needed 40 days to recuperate. On June 22, at 3 a.m., I suffered severe discomfort in my lower back. I assumed it must have been a muscular spasm, but the discomfort did not go away. I contacted my sister, who worked as a nurse at a private hospital, around 3.30 p.m. She advised me to go to the hospital right away after hearing my problems. Medical personnel performed a number of tests, including a CT scan. They informed me that there was a stone in my kidney that was making its way to my ureter, causing severe discomfort in my lower back. The size of the stone was 7.8 mm. The physicians advised us that an emergency operation was required to remove the stone, and we consented. The stone was removed during the procedure." Fathima Babu, who was seen in 'Bigg Boss Tamil' in its third season where she stayed in the house for a few weeks, has also participated in the Vijay Television show 'BB Jodigal'. She was newsreader for more than 25 years in DD Podhigai, the Tamil version of Doordarshan news. She has also acted in South Indian movies like Namma Gramam, Nee Nanan Nizhal, Grandmaster, and Kathanayakudu.
