Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media: The Ear That Nobody Fixed | Walk into any ENT chamber in Rajshahi and ask how many patients come in with ears that have been discharging for more than five years. The number is not small. CSOM — chronic infection of the middle ear with a perforated eardrum — is the single most common reason adults in Rajshahi visit ENT specialists, and in most cases the story is the same: it started in childhood, antibiotics and ear drops were used repeatedly, the discharge would stop for a while and then come back, and by the time a specialist is finally seen the drum has been perforated for so long that scar tissue and cholesteatoma — a destructive skin cyst that eats into the surrounding bone — has quietly developed behind the eardrum. ENT specialists examine the ear under microscopy, assess hearing through audiometry, arrange CT scan of the temporal bone when cholesteatoma is suspected, and perform tympanoplasty — drum repair — or mastoidectomy when the infection has spread into the mastoid bone behind the ear.

Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Rajshahi's Most Undertreated Condition | The combination of agricultural dust, seasonal pollen, and indoor dust mite exposure in Rajshahi's climate creates the perfect environment for chronic sinusitis to develop and persist in a population that largely manages it with steam inhalation and decongestant tablets bought over the counter. Chronic rhinosinusitis is not just a blocked nose — it is daily facial pressure and heaviness, postnasal drip that causes a persistent cough and an irritated throat, loss of the ability to smell food, disrupted sleep, and a constant feeling of having a head full of concrete. ENT specialists in Rajshahi diagnose through nasal endoscopy which directly visualizes the sinus openings and any polyps blocking them, arrange CT scan of the paranasal sinuses for surgical planning, and manage medically first — nasal corticosteroid sprays, saline irrigation, and targeted antibiotic courses. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is reserved for cases where 3 months of proper medical treatment has genuinely failed.

Allergic Rhinitis: The Condition Everyone Has and Nobody Treats Properly | From February through June in Rajshahi, ENT clinics see a surge of patients with sneezing that will not stop, watery eyes, a nose that alternates between streaming and completely blocked, and postnasal drip causing a throat that constantly needs clearing. The cause is invariably seasonal pollen — mango, lychee, or grass pollen depending on the month — layered on top of year-round sensitization to rice paddy dust and household dust mites. The tragedy is that most of these patients have been managing with antihistamine tablets that they take when symptoms are bad and stop when they improve, never understanding that the underlying sensitization is progressive and that regular nasal corticosteroid spray used consistently — not just on bad days — dramatically reduces both symptoms and the risk of developing asthma. ENT specialists in Rajshahi confirm the diagnosis through allergy skin prick testing, identify the specific triggers, and establish a proper management plan rather than a repeat prescription for the same tablet that provides incomplete relief.

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: The Emergency Nobody Treats as One | Every week in Rajshahi, someone wakes up with one ear dramatically reduced in hearing — sometimes with tinnitus and dizziness added — and spends the next week trying various pharmacies, consulting a general physician who prescribes vitamins, and eventually arriving at an ENT specialist 10 days after onset when the treatment window has significantly narrowed. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a genuine otological emergency. High-dose oral corticosteroids started within 72 hours of onset give the best chance of meaningful hearing recovery — the same treatment given at day 10 is substantially less effective. ENT specialists in Rajshahi need to see these patients the same day — if you or someone you know wakes up with sudden dramatic hearing loss in one ear, contact an ENT specialist in Rajshahi that day, not next week.

Head and Neck Lumps: What Needs to Be Taken Seriously | Not every lump in the neck is sinister. Reactive lymph nodes from throat infections, branchial cysts appearing in young adults, and lipomas under the skin surface are all common in Rajshahi and most turn out to be benign. But a neck lump that appeared without any obvious infection, has been present for more than 3 weeks, is hard rather than soft and tender, or is growing — warrants ENT assessment rather than watchful waiting at home. ENT specialists examine the entire upper aerodigestive tract — mouth, throat, tongue base, nasopharynx, and larynx — because a lump in the neck is sometimes the first manifestation of a primary cancer in the throat or nasopharynx, particularly in Rajshahi's tobacco-using population. Ultrasound and FNAC establish the nature of the lump in most cases. The biopsy that is done promptly catches things early. The one that is delayed by weeks of reassurance does not.
