Dr. Md. Ahsanul Abedin

Mountains of garlic and dried chilies fill the narrow lanes of Khatunganj. Wholesale traders spend their entire day sitting cross legged on wooden platforms. They negotiate bulk prices while drinking endless cups of strong black tea. This constant pressure on the lower body creates a very private kind of agony. Swollen veins in the lower digestive tract start to bleed. Men hide this sharp pain out of pure embarrassment. They buy random herbal pastes from street hawkers near the port. Suffering in silence while sitting through long meetings becomes their daily reality. Talking about rectal bleeding feels deeply shameful in our culture. Dr Md Ahsanul Abedin breaks this wall of silence. He serves as an Assistant Professor of Surgery. His medical journey spans across the globe. He started with an MBBS degree and entered public service through the BCS Health exams. He mastered the operating room by securing both an MCPS and an FCPS in Surgery. He pushed his surgical skills across international borders to earn an FACS from the USA and an FMAS from India. You will find him working as a General Laparoscopic and Colorectal Surgery Specialist right here in Chittagong. The terrified spice trader might finally seek help when the bathroom visits become unbearable. He walks into the chamber expecting a cold clinical lecture. Dr Ahsanul Abedin changes that dynamic instantly. A surgeon with international training knows exactly how to handle deep patient anxiety. He asks direct questions about diet and daily habits without making the man feel judged. He knows that a diet heavy in spicy beef and low in fiber ruins the colon over time. He examines the patient gently to determine if the issue requires simple medication or a surgical fix. Years of teaching give him a very clear way of speaking. He grabs a blank notepad and draws a simple sketch of the lower intestine. He explains how the swollen veins cause the daily bleeding. He discusses the laparoscopic surgical options using plain everyday words. He tells the trader exactly what to expect during the recovery phase. He speaks in a warm tone that completely removes the heavy shame from the room. Hiding a painful physical condition only makes the daily hustle harder. Having a USA and India trained colorectal expert right in the port city changes the reality for thousands of silent sufferers. The trader can get his surgery done by a master surgeon and recover in his own bed. Sitting comfortably on a wooden platform again feels like a quiet miracle for a hardworking merchant.
