Dr. Monira Afroz Siddika

Dr. Monira Afroz Siddika works in internal medicine and endocrinology, dealing with health problems that often need regular monitoring. She completed her MBBS from Dhaka Medical College, followed by FCPS in Medicine and an MD in Endocrinology. Patients may visit her because of diabetes, thyroid problems, unexplained weight changes, hormonal issues, or general medical symptoms that have not settled. Sometimes the complaint is simple. A person feels tired all the time. Another has been unusually thirsty or losing weight without trying. A few blood tests can sometimes point in the right direction.

Her background in medicine allows her to look beyond one particular symptom. A patient with diabetes may also have high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, or other conditions that need attention. Someone with a thyroid disorder may come in after noticing changes in weight, sleep, or energy. These things often overlap. She also works with patients at the National Institute of Disease of the Chest and Hospital and provides consultation in Dhaka. The clinic desk can get crowded with prescription papers, glucose reports, thyroid tests, and old medical files. Quite ordinary. Some patients have been checking their blood sugar for years. Others are seeing an endocrinologist for the first time and have many questions about diet, medicine, and follow-up tests. Treatment usually changes according to the reports and the person's condition. Sometimes a medicine is adjusted. Sometimes another test is needed. No need to make it more complicated than it is. Check the numbers, listen to the patient, and take the next step.
