Asso. Prof. Dr. Refat Ara Mahfuz

Asso. Prof. Dr. Refat Ara Mahfuz is an Associate Professor of Gynaecology with qualifications including MBBS and DGO. Her medical education and postgraduate diploma provide a foundation for assessing concerns related to women's reproductive health. Gynaecology addresses a range of conditions, from menstrual irregularities and pelvic discomfort to changes that may occur at different stages of life. A consultation can help patients discuss symptoms and understand what further assessment may be suitable.

Women may seek medical advice for periods that become irregular, unusually heavy bleeding, painful cramps or discomfort in the lower abdomen. Changes in vaginal discharge and bleeding between menstrual cycles can also need attention. These symptoms may have different causes, so it is useful to describe their frequency, duration and severity during an appointment. Keeping a record of menstrual dates and previous symptoms can help patients explain recurring problems more clearly.

Reproductive health concerns can affect comfort, sleep and everyday activities. Persistent symptoms deserve medical assessment, even if they initially seem mild. Patients may bring previous prescriptions, ultrasound reports and laboratory results to help the doctor review their medical history. Sudden severe pelvic pain, fainting or heavy bleeding should prompt urgent medical attention instead of waiting for a routine consultation.

Dr. Refat Ara Mahfuz consults at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd, English Road. Patients can prepare for a visit by listing their main concerns, current medicines and any previous treatment. Explaining when a symptom started and how it has changed can support a focused discussion. Further examination, testing and care recommendations will depend on the patient's symptoms and clinical findings.
