Asst.Pro. Dr. Rana Jahangir Alam

Asst. Prof. Dr. Rana Jahangir Alam is an Assistant Professor of General Surgery with qualifications including MBBS, FCPS in Surgery and MRCS from Edinburgh, UK. His academic and professional training provides a foundation for assessing surgical conditions and discussing suitable treatment options. General surgery covers a broad range of problems involving the abdomen, skin, soft tissues and other areas that may require medical or surgical care.

Patients may seek a general surgeon's advice for hernias, abdominal discomfort, unexplained lumps, wounds or swelling that does not improve. Some conditions can be managed without an operation, while others may require further investigation or surgery. A clinical assessment helps determine the likely cause and the appropriate next step. Describing when symptoms began, whether they are worsening and how they affect daily activities can help the doctor understand the problem.

Preparation can make a surgical consultation more productive. Patients may bring previous test results, prescriptions, discharge summaries and details of any past operations. It is also useful to mention existing medical conditions and medicines, particularly those that affect blood clotting. Sudden severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, a painful lump that cannot be pushed back or rapidly worsening swelling may require urgent medical attention.

Dr. Rana Jahangir Alam consults at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd, English Road. During a visit, patients can discuss their symptoms, ask about possible investigations and understand the benefits and risks of suggested treatments. Decisions about surgery depend on the diagnosis, examination findings and overall health of the patient. Follow-up recommendations may also vary according to the condition and the treatment provided.
