Breast Conditions Assessed by Dr. Reshma Aziz
Patients searching for a breast specialist Dr. Reshma Aziz may be concerned about a newly discovered lump, ongoing pain or another change in the breast. These symptoms can have several possible causes, so assessment should be based on more than the symptom alone.
Breast lumps
A breast lump may result from a benign condition such as a fibroadenoma or cyst. Infection, inflammation and other breast conditions can also produce a lump or thickened area.
A breast lump does not automatically mean cancer. However, a new, persistent, growing or changing lump should not be ignored. An individual assessment may involve:
- A discussion of when the lump was first noticed
- Review of pain, nipple discharge and other symptoms
- Clinical breast examination
- Breast imaging when appropriate
- Aspiration, biopsy or referral when clinically indicated
For a more detailed explanation, read the guide to breast lump assessment.
Fibroadenoma
A fibroadenoma is a common benign breast lump, particularly among younger women. It often feels smooth and movable, but touch alone cannot confirm the diagnosis.
Management may involve monitoring or surgical removal, depending on factors such as:
- The size of the lump
- Whether it is growing
- Pain or discomfort
- Imaging findings
- Diagnostic uncertainty
- The patient’s age and medical history
- The effect on daily life or peace of mind
Learn more about the available approaches to fibroadenoma treatment.
Breast pain
Breast pain may occur before menstruation, during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or after menopause. It can affect one breast or both breasts and may be cyclical or unrelated to the menstrual cycle.
Common explanations include hormonal changes, infection, an injury, an ill-fitting bra or pain arising from the chest wall. Persistent one-sided pain, pain associated with a lump or pain accompanied by skin or nipple changes requires medical assessment.
The guide to breast pain causes explains common patterns and warning signs.
Breast infection and abscess
A breast infection may cause pain, redness, warmth, swelling and fever. In some patients, a pocket of pus called a breast abscess can develop.
Treatment may include antibiotics, pain relief, ultrasound assessment or drainage. The appropriate plan depends on the severity and whether an abscess is present. Anyone who is breastfeeding should receive advice that considers both infection management and safe feeding.
Read more about breast abscess treatment.
Nipple and skin changes
Patients should arrange an assessment if they notice:
- New nipple discharge, particularly if bloody
- Nipple inversion that was not present before
- Dimpling or puckering of the breast skin
- Persistent redness or thickening
- A change in breast shape
- A lump or swelling in the underarm
These changes do not establish a diagnosis by themselves. They indicate that further clinical evaluation may be appropriate.
Does Dr. Reshma Aziz treat breast lumps?
Yes. Dr. Reshma Aziz evaluates breast lumps and related symptoms such as breast pain, fibroadenoma, cysts, infection, abscess and nipple discharge. Tests or referrals may be recommended according to the clinical findings.
Piles Treatment by Dr. Reshma Aziz
Piles, also known as haemorrhoids, are swollen blood vessels in or around the anal canal. They may cause bleeding, itching, swelling, discomfort or a lump near the anus.
A piles doctor Dr. Reshma Aziz consultation usually begins by reviewing the symptoms, bowel habits, constipation, previous treatment and any bleeding. An examination may be necessary because anal fissures, fistulas and other colorectal conditions can produce overlapping symptoms.
Does every piles patient need an operation?
No. Many patients with piles do not initially require surgery. Depending on the diagnosis and severity, management may include:
- Increasing dietary fibre
- Drinking adequate fluids
- Avoiding prolonged straining
- Treating constipation
- Improving toilet habits
- Short-term medication
- An office-based procedure
- Surgery for selected cases
No single treatment is best for everyone. A procedure should be chosen according to the type and grade of piles, the main symptoms, previous treatment and the patient’s general health.

What about laser piles treatment?
Dr. Reshma Aziz has completed LASER training in proctology. However, laser treatment is not automatically necessary or suitable for every case.
Potential benefits and limitations should be discussed after diagnosis. Patients should ask:
- What is the exact diagnosis?
- Is conservative treatment still appropriate?
- Why is this procedure being recommended?
- What are the likely benefits and possible risks?
- How long might recovery take?
- Is recurrence possible?
- What costs are included?
The cost of treatment can vary with the procedure, facility, investigations, anaesthesia and follow-up needs. See the guide to laser piles surgery cost in Bangladesh for the main cost factors.
Anal Fissure Treatment
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. It commonly causes sharp or burning pain during or after a bowel movement. Bright red blood may appear on toilet paper or on the surface of the stool.
Constipation and passing hard stool are common triggers. Some fissures are recent, while others become chronic and may be more difficult to heal.
Fissure treatment may include:
- Softening the stool
- Increasing fibre and fluid intake
- Correcting straining habits
- Warm sitz baths
- Prescribed local medicine
- Other medical treatment
- A procedure or surgery for selected chronic cases
Piles and fissures are different conditions even though both may cause pain or bleeding. The comparison guide on anal fissure vs piles explains the main differences.
Does Dr. Reshma Aziz provide fissure treatment?
Yes. Dr. Reshma Aziz assesses anal fissures and helps determine whether bowel-habit changes, medication or a procedure may be appropriate. Chronic or recurrent fissures require an individual treatment plan.
Anal Fistula and Perianal Abscess Care
An anal fistula is an abnormal tract between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It may develop after an infected anal gland or perianal abscess.
Common symptoms include:
- Recurrent swelling near the anus
- Pain or tenderness
- Pus or fluid discharge
- Skin irritation
- A small opening near the anus
- Repeated abscess formation
- Fever during an active infection
Someone searching for a fistula doctor in Dhaka should understand that fistulas vary in location and complexity. Treatment planning may require an examination, imaging or evaluation of how the tract relates to the anal sphincter muscles.
Medication alone does not usually remove a persistent fistula tract. Procedures differ according to the fistula anatomy, recurrence history and continence risk.
Read more about anal fistula treatment and the factors influencing anal fistula surgery cost in Bangladesh.
Does Dr. Reshma Aziz treat fistula?
Yes. Anal fistula assessment and treatment fall within her colorectal and proctology practice. The suitable procedure depends on the path of the fistula, its complexity, previous treatment and its relationship with the anal sphincter.
Other Colorectal Conditions Assessed
The work of a colorectal specialist is not limited to piles, fissures and fistulas. Patients may also seek help for rectal bleeding, bowel changes, anal swelling or persistent discomfort.
Blood in the stool
Blood in the stool may be bright red, dark red or black. Possible causes range from anal fissures and piles to inflammation, polyps, bleeding higher in the digestive tract or other conditions.
Patients should seek prompt assessment if bleeding is:
- Heavy or persistent
- Associated with dizziness or fainting
- Accompanied by black, tar-like stool
- Linked with unexplained weight loss
- Associated with abdominal pain or fever
- Combined with a lasting change in bowel habits
- Occurring alongside weakness or suspected anaemia
Do not assume that rectal bleeding is “only piles” without an appropriate assessment. The article on blood in stool treatment in Dhaka explains common causes and red flags.
Chronic constipation
Constipation can involve hard stool, infrequent bowel movements, excessive straining or a sense of incomplete emptying. It can contribute to piles and anal fissures, although constipation may also have dietary, medical, medication-related or functional causes.
Initial management may involve diet, fluid intake, activity, bowel habits and appropriate medicine. Further assessment may be needed when constipation is new, severe, persistent or associated with bleeding, vomiting, weight loss or significant abdominal swelling.
Pilonidal sinus
A pilonidal sinus usually develops in the cleft between the buttocks near the tailbone. It can cause a painful lump, swelling, discharge or recurrent infection.
Treatment depends on whether the area is acutely infected, chronically draining or repeatedly recurring. An abscess may need drainage, while recurrent disease may require a planned procedure.
Pediatric and General Surgical Care
Dr. Reshma Aziz completed an MS in Paediatric Surgery and worked at Dhaka Shishu Hospital from 1996 to 2004. Her clinical background includes pediatric surgery as well as selected general surgical care.
Pediatric surgical conditions
Parents may seek an assessment for selected childhood surgical concerns, including hernias. A hernia may appear as a bulge in the groin, scrotum or around the belly button.
Urgent hospital care may be needed if a child has:
- A hard or very painful bulge
- A bulge that does not go back in
- Red, purple or dark skin over the swelling
- Repeated vomiting
- Abdominal swelling
- Marked distress, weakness or unusual sleepiness
Learn more from the guide to hernia symptoms in children.

- Gallbladder stones
- Minor lumps and swellings
- Selected skin and soft-tissue conditions
- Abscesses requiring surgical assessment
- Hernias
- Pilonidal disease
- Conditions requiring referral for more specialised care
The suitability of a consultation depends on the individual condition. Some problems may require imaging, hospital admission or referral to another surgical discipline.
Does Dr. Reshma Aziz perform pediatric or general surgery?
Dr. Reshma Aziz has an MS in Paediatric Surgery and documented experience in pediatric and selected general surgery. Whether she can manage a particular condition depends on its diagnosis, complexity, required facility and need for another specialist.
How Does Dr. Reshma Aziz Assess a Patient?
A consultation is intended to establish what may be causing the symptoms and what should happen next. It does not automatically result in surgery.
The assessment process may include:
1. Understanding the main concern
The patient explains the symptoms, when they started and how they affect daily life. Previous diagnoses, medicines, procedures and test results should also be discussed.
2. Reviewing relevant medical history
Diabetes, thyroid disease, pregnancy, breastfeeding, bowel habits, previous surgery and current medicines may influence assessment and treatment planning.
3. Conducting an appropriate examination
The examination depends on the complaint. Sensitive breast or anorectal examinations should be conducted respectfully with privacy and an explanation of why the examination is needed.
4. Deciding whether tests are required
Not every patient needs the same tests. Depending on the condition, the doctor may consider imaging, laboratory tests, colonoscopy, aspiration, biopsy or referral.
5. Discussing the available options
The treatment plan may involve observation, lifestyle changes, medicine, a minor procedure, surgery or coordinated care with another specialist.
