Assoc. Prof. Dr. Munirunnesa (Shilpi)

Changes in menstrual patterns, lower abdominal discomfort, or concerns about pregnancy can leave women unsure about when to seek medical advice. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Munirunnesa (Shilpi) is an Associate Professor in Gynaecology at Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC), Mitford Hospital. She holds an MBBS degree from Dhaka and an FCPS in Gynaecology.

Gynaecological care covers a range of concerns, including irregular periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and symptoms linked to reproductive health. These issues can have different causes, so an assessment may involve reviewing the patient's medical history, menstrual cycle, and any previous pregnancies or treatments. Depending on the findings, further tests or ultrasonography may be recommended to help identify the source of the symptoms.

Women can prepare for a consultation by noting when symptoms began, how often they occur, and whether they have changed over time. Previous prescriptions, ultrasound reports, and laboratory results may help provide a clearer picture. Persistent bleeding between periods, bleeding after menopause, or ongoing pelvic pain should not be ignored. Severe pain or heavy bleeding accompanied by dizziness calls for urgent medical attention.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Munirunnesa (Shilpi) sees patients at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd, Jatrabari, Dhaka. Women seeking advice about menstrual concerns or other gynaecological symptoms can consider visiting her chamber for an assessment. A discussion of symptoms and medical history can help determine which investigations or treatment options may be appropriate for each patient.
