Dr. Shahin Mahmud

Dr. Shahin Mahmud is a Consultant and Rheumatology Specialist with qualifications that include MBBS, BCS (Health), an MD in Rheumatology and ECRD from Switzerland. His specialty focuses on diseases affecting the joints, muscles, bones and connective tissues. Rheumatological conditions can cause persistent pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced movement, sometimes affecting several parts of the body at once.

People with inflammatory joint conditions may notice stiffness after waking up, swollen fingers, discomfort in the knees or difficulty carrying out everyday tasks. Some rheumatic diseases can also affect organs beyond the joints. Symptoms may develop gradually or appear in episodes, making proper assessment important. A specialist may review the pattern of pain, family and medical history, physical findings and relevant blood tests or imaging before deciding on a treatment approach.

Dr. Mahmud's listed chamber is the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka. Since rheumatology concerns are not limited to neurological conditions, patients may wish to confirm the relevant department and consultation arrangements before visiting this hospital. Bringing previous prescriptions, laboratory reports, imaging results and a list of current medicines can help the doctor understand the patient's history. It is also useful to note which joints are affected and whether stiffness is worse in the morning or after periods of rest.

His MD in Rheumatology reflects specialist training in diseases involving joints and connective tissues, while the ECRD qualification forms part of his listed professional background. Patients should confirm the current appointment schedule in advance and follow medical advice regarding investigations and treatment. A suddenly hot, swollen joint accompanied by fever requires prompt medical assessment.
