Former Professor & Chairman (Colorectal Surgery)
About Prof. Dr. AKM Fazlul Haque
Dhaka is a city of endless sitting. Bankers sit in traffic for hours. Shopkeepers sit cross legged in crowded markets. Office workers stay glued to their desks. This constant pressure on the lower body creates a very private kind of agony. Piles and colon issues develop slowly. People hide the bleeding and the sharp pain out of pure embarrassment. They buy random herbal pastes from street hawkers. They suffer in silence while sitting through long meetings. Talking about rectal bleeding feels deeply shameful in our culture. Prof Dr AKM Fazlul Haque breaks this wall of silence. He served as the Former Professor and Chairman of Colorectal Surgery at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. His medical journey spans across the globe. He started with an MBBS degree. He mastered general operations by securing an FCPS in Surgery. He then focused entirely on the lower digestive tract. He earned an FICS from the USA and completed a Fellowship in Colorectal Surgery in Singapore. You will find him treating these highly sensitive cases in Dhaka. A terrified bank manager might finally seek help when the bathroom visits become unbearable. He walks into the chamber expecting a cold clinical lecture. Dr Fazlul Haque changes that dynamic instantly. A former department chairman 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 at the highest medical university 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 surgical options using plain everyday words. He tells the banker 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 commute harder. Having a globally trained colorectal expert right in the capital city changes the reality for thousands of silent sufferers. The banker can get his surgery done by a master surgeon and recover in his own bed. Sitting comfortably at a desk again feels like a quiet miracle for a hardworking man.
