A blood specialist who also looks at the full picture

If you’re worried because a blood report looks confusing—low haemoglobin, low platelets, abnormal white cells, unusual bruising, or ongoing weakness—you’re not alone. Many patients feel anxious when they see “abnormal” on a report. The good news is that most blood-related problems become clearer once a specialist reviews your symptoms together with your test trends.

At Bangladesh Health Alliance (BHA), our goal is simple: help you understand what your report means, what is urgent vs. not urgent, and what to do next—step by step.

One important point: blood problems don’t always stay “only in the blood.” They can be linked with infection, nutrition gaps, chronic disease, liver or kidney conditions, autoimmune disorders, and common medical issues such as diabetes or thyroid disease.

Dr. Mirza Golam Sarwar (Moon) offers added value for many patients because he is trained in both Internal Medicine and Haematology (FCPS in Medicine + MD in Haematology). This supports a broader, safer assessment—especially when conditions overlap or more than one cause is possible.

“Who should I see for anaemia, thalassemia, or low platelets?” A haematology specialist is ideal. If you also have other medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, blood pressure, kidney/liver issues), a haematologist with medicine training can be especially helpful.

Dr. Mirza Golam Sarwar (Moon) serves (as provided) as Associate Professor & Head, Department of Haematology at Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College & Hospital, a public medical college hospital in Dhaka.

What patients commonly consult for

People often search “blood specialist doctor in Dhaka”, “haematologist near me”, or “medicine + blood doctor” when they experience:

1) Anaemia and chronic weakness

• Persistent fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath
• Low haemoglobin on CBC (Complete Blood Count)
• Iron deficiency, vitamin B12/folate deficiency, anaemia of chronic disease

2) Thalassemia screening, counselling, and follow-up

Thalassemia screening is important in Bangladesh—especially if there is a family history, unexplained anaemia, or marriage/pregnancy planning.

3) Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) and bruising/bleeding

• Easy bruising, gum bleeding, nosebleeds
• Dengue-related platelet drop (seasonal)
• ITP (immune thrombocytopenia) evaluation
• Medicine-related platelet reduction

4) Abnormal white blood cells, recurrent infections, or persistent fever

• High/low WBC counts
• Fever with abnormal counts
• Infection/inflammation-related changes vs. bone marrow-related causes

5) Concern for serious blood disorders (stepwise evaluation)

• Unexplained weight loss, night sweats, enlarged lymph nodes
• Persistent abnormal CBC or peripheral blood film changes

BHA guidance: This page can’t diagnose you online, but it can help you choose the right next step. If you’re unsure, a visit focused on history + report review is often the safest starting point. If your symptoms feel severe or are worsening quickly, please seek urgent care.

“Haematologist + Medicine specialist” — why this matters in real life

Many patients don’t come with one neat diagnosis. They come with:

• Fatigue + diabetes
• Anaemia + kidney disease
• Low platelets + recent infection
• Weakness + gastric issues + poor nutrition
• Abnormal CBC + fever + body aches

In these situations, dual expertise can help to:

• Interpret blood reports while also evaluating broader medical causes
• Make safer decisions when multiple medicines are involved
• Decide what tests are necessary now vs. what can wait
• Reduce both under-testing and over-testing through balanced clinical judgement

Conditions treate

A) Anaemia-related problems

• Iron deficiency anaemia
• Vitamin B12 / folate deficiency anaemia
• Anaemia of chronic inflammation or chronic disease
• Unexplained anaemia requiring deeper evaluation

B) Genetic blood disorders

• Thalassemia trait counselling and report interpretation
• Guidance for thalassemia follow-up and family counselling

C) Platelet and bleeding disorders

• Low platelet evaluation (including ITP suspicion)
• Easy bruising, gum bleeding, nosebleeds
• Bleeding/clotting tendency work-up (when clinically appropriate)

D) White cell disorders / abnormal CBC patterns

• High WBC, low WBC (leukopenia)
• Persistent abnormal counts needing systematic evaluation

E) Bone marrow and complex blood disorders

• When doctors recommend peripheral blood film, marrow tests, or specialist review
• Stepwise planning to reduce confusion and anxiety

Symptoms that should not be ignored

Consider a haematology consultation if you have:

• Unexplained tiredness lasting weeks
• Paleness, dizziness, breathlessness with mild activity
• Frequent fever/infections, or fever with abnormal CBC
• Bruising without injury, prolonged bleeding
• Repeatedly low platelets or persistently abnormal WBC
• Enlarged lymph nodes, unexplained weight loss, night sweats
• A report mentioning “abnormal cells” or “blast suspicion”

When to go to emergency (don’t wait):

• Active bleeding (nose/gums, vomiting blood, black stools, blood in urine)
• Severe breathlessness, fainting, chest pain, confusion
• Sudden worsening weakness, or very low counts reported by a lab with significant symptoms

If you’re unsure whether it’s urgent, it’s safer to go to the nearest hospital.

What to bring to your appointment (to save time and cost)

To make your visit smoother—especially if you’re travelling from outside Dhaka—bring:

1. CBC (Complete Blood Count) — latest + older reports if possible
2. Peripheral Blood Film (PBF), if done
3. Ferritin / iron profile (for anaemia evaluation), if available
4. Vitamin B12 / folate reports, if done
5. Any ESR/CRP, reticulocyte count, or other tests your doctor advised
6. Hb electrophoresis / HPLC (for thalassemia), if done
7. Discharge summaries, transfusion notes, biopsy/bone marrow reports (if any)
8. A list of current medicines and supplements (even photos of prescriptions)

What to expect in your consultation

Most patients feel better when they know what will happen during a blood-specialist visit. A typical consultation usually includes:

1. Listening to your story — symptoms, duration, previous illness, medicines, diet, family history
2. Reviewing your reports — not just one CBC, but the trend over time
3. Explaining what looks normal vs. concerning in simple language
4. Choosing only the necessary next tests (if needed) to confirm the cause
5. A clear plan — treatment steps, warning signs, and a follow‑up timeline

If anything feels confusing, it’s okay to ask: “What is the main cause you suspect, and what is our next step?”

Common blood tests

If you already have these tests, bring them. If not, your doctor may advise some of them based on your symptoms.

• CBC (Complete Blood Count): Shows haemoglobin, platelets, and white blood cells. It’s the starting point for most blood problems.
• Peripheral Blood Film (PBF): A microscope review of blood cells. Helps when CBC is abnormal or unclear.
• Ferritin / iron profile: Helps confirm iron deficiency (a common cause of anaemia) and prevents unnecessary iron use when iron is not the problem.
• Vitamin B12 / folate: Low levels can cause anaemia and nerve-related symptoms.
• Hb electrophoresis / HPLC: Helps detect thalassemia trait and other haemoglobin disorders.

BHA tip: Don’t worry if you don’t have all tests—start with what you have. The right test depends on your clinical picture.

Before your appointment: simple do’s and don’ts

These small steps can make your visit safer and more useful.

Do

• Keep a short symptom timeline (when it started, what changed, what worsens/relieves)
• Drink enough fluids and eat regularly if you can
• Bring prescriptions, supplements, and any recent discharge papers

Avoid (unless a doctor advised)

• Starting or increasing iron, “blood tonics,” or multiple vitamins without tests
• Stopping important medicines suddenly (e.g., blood pressure/diabetes medicines)
• Taking aspirin/NSAIDs if you have bleeding/bruising or very low platelets (seek medical advice first)

Family guidance: thalassemia screening

If thalassemia trait is suspected or there is a family history, consider these steps (especially before marriage/pregnancy):

• Start with CBC for both partners
• If microcytic anaemia is present, discuss Hb electrophoresis/HPLC
• Get counselling on what results mean for future children

BHA can help you find the right specialist pathway and explain which tests are appropriate for your family.

Online consultation (Yes) — who it’s best for

Prefer online consultation?

Online consultation is available for report review and follow-up. Keep your CBC and other reports ready.

• Mobile: 01721937337
• Email: moon.haematology@gmail.com

Online consultation is a good option if you:

• Need report review (CBC, ferritin/iron profile, Hb electrophoresis/HPLC)
• Live outside Dhaka and want guidance before travelling
• Need follow-up for chronic anaemia or blood disorders
• Want a clear, step-by-step plan after tests

Online consultation may not be enough if you have:

• Active bleeding
• Severe weakness or breathlessness
• Dangerously low counts reported by the lab with significant symptoms
• A suspected emergency that needs in-person examination

Prepare in 3 simple steps

1. Keep clear photos/scans of reports
2. Write symptoms in 5 lines (start date, changes, triggers)
3. List current medicines and recent illnesses

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m always tired—how do I know if it’s anemia or something else?

If your tiredness lasts more than 2–3 weeks, or comes with paleness, shortness of breath, dizziness, a fast heartbeat, or low hemoglobin on a CBC, you should get evaluated. Anemia can be caused by iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, chronic inflammation, or other medical conditions—so identifying the right cause matters before treatment.

My CBC is ‘abnormal’—should I panic?

No. A single abnormal CBC often needs repeat testing and proper interpretation. What matters most is the trend over time, your symptoms, and any recent illness or medicines. A haematologist can explain whether it’s likely a temporary change (such as infection or deficiency) or something that needs deeper work-up.

When should I see a haematologist instead of a general physician?

See a haematologist if you have recurrent or unexplained anemia, low platelets, unusual bruising/bleeding, persistently high or low white blood cells, or a report that mentions abnormal cells or peripheral blood film changes.

If any of these are present, book within 24–72 hours.
Go to an emergency department immediately if you have severe bleeding, severe breathlessness, fainting, chest pain, or sudden worsening weakness.

What should I bring to my first blood specialist visit to avoid extra tests?

Bring your latest CBC, any older CBCs (even photos), and any tests you’ve already done such as ferritin/iron profile, vitamin B12/folate, and Hb electrophoresis (for thalassemia). Also bring a list of current medicines and supplements. This helps the doctor decide what’s truly needed next—saving time and cost.

Is it safe to start iron tablets before seeing a doctor?

Not always. Iron helps only when iron deficiency is confirmed. If anemia is due to thalassemia trait, chronic inflammation, vitamin B12 deficiency, or other causes, taking iron without confirmation can delay the correct diagnosis. A basic lab assessment (CBC plus ferritin/iron profile, as advised) is usually a smarter first step.

My platelets are low—what symptoms mean it’s urgent?

Seek urgent care if you notice nose or gum bleeding, black stools, blood in urine, heavy menstrual bleeding, or new widespread bruises/petechiae, severe weakness, fainting, or severe abdominal pain.

In dengue season, watch for warning signs (scan-friendly):

• Persistent vomiting or inability to keep fluids down
• Severe abdominal pain or increasing belly tenderness
• Any bleeding (gum/nose, vomiting blood, black stools, blood in urine)

If any of these are present, go to the nearest hospital emergency/urgent care immediately—don’t rely only on the platelet number.

Do low platelets always mean dengue?

No. Dengue is a common cause in season, but low platelets can also happen due to other viral infections, drug reactions, ITP, liver disease, nutritional issues, or bone marrow conditions. The correct diagnosis depends on symptoms, CBC pattern (including hematocrit/WBC), history, and sometimes follow-up testing.

What is thalassemia trait—and can someone look ‘healthy’ but still carry it?

Yes. Many carriers have mild anemia—or no symptoms at all—yet still carry the gene. That’s why premarital or pre-pregnancy screening and counseling matter, especially if both partners could be carriers.

If my hemoglobin is low, does it always mean I need a blood transfusion?

No. Many people improve with the right treatment (iron/vitamin B12/folate, and treating any underlying condition) without transfusion. Transfusion is usually considered when anemia is severe, symptomatic, rapidly worsening, or linked to specific conditions—your doctor decides based on hemoglobin level, symptoms, and cause.

How long does it take to ‘feel better’ after anemia treatment starts?

It depends on the cause. With confirmed iron deficiency, many people feel some improvement within 2–3 weeks, but restoring iron stores can take months. If the cause is vitamin B12/folate deficiency or chronic inflammation, the timeline differs. The key is correct diagnosis plus follow-up, rather than switching medicines repeatedly.

Book an appointment to Visit the Doctor

If your blood report is abnormal, don’t panic—and don’t self-treat blindly. The safest step is a structured specialist evaluation that considers both blood-specific causes and general medical conditions. With his combined focus on Medicine + Haematology, Dr. Mirza Golam Sarwar (Moon) is positioned to support patients who need that broader, clearer approach—whether you visit in Shyamoli/Mohammadpur, Mirpur 10, or through online consultation.
