Prof. Dr. Rashidul Islam

Prof. Dr. Rashidul Islam is a Professor of Colorectal Surgery with qualifications including MBBS, FCPS in Surgery and MS. His academic background and surgical training relate to conditions affecting the colon, rectum and anus. Colorectal care can involve assessing digestive symptoms, investigating bowel changes and discussing treatment options for conditions that may require specialist attention. An early evaluation can help clarify the cause of persistent symptoms.

People may seek advice for rectal bleeding, ongoing constipation, changes in bowel habits, abdominal discomfort or pain during bowel movements. These symptoms can result from several conditions, including some that need further investigation. Bleeding should not automatically be attributed to piles or another minor problem without proper assessment. Patients can help the consultation by explaining when symptoms started, how often they occur and whether they have changed recently.

Colorectal treatment depends on the diagnosis and may involve lifestyle changes, medication, additional tests or surgery. Not every patient requires an operation. Previous colonoscopy reports, imaging results, prescriptions and discharge summaries can provide useful background during a visit. Sudden severe abdominal pain, heavy rectal bleeding, persistent vomiting or an inability to pass stool or gas with abdominal swelling may require urgent medical attention.

Prof. Dr. Rashidul Islam consults at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd, English Road. Patients preparing for an appointment can write down their symptoms, current medicines and relevant medical history. Questions about recommended tests, treatment choices and recovery can help make the consultation more informative. The appropriate plan depends on the patient's examination, investigation results and overall health.
