Frequently Asked Questions

You can make your appointment by filling out the appointment form on our website or by contacting us via the phone and WhatsApp line listed on the contact page. The request you submit through the form is confirmed after the suitable date and time are verified; therefore, we kindly ask you to wait for our response. Providing your name, a reachable phone number, and your preferred time range will expedite the process.

If you realize that you cannot attend your appointment, it is sufficient to inform us through our communication channels. Providing notice at least one day in advance, whenever possible, is important so that the time slot can be offered to another patient on the waiting list. If you also provide a new date range when you are available for rescheduling, we can plan the closest appointment time together.

If available, bringing your previous test, ultrasound, and pathology results, the list of medications you are using, and the date of your last menstrual period will facilitate the evaluation. For routine check-ups, you do not need to fast before the examination; fasting may only be required if certain blood tests are planned, and you will be informed in advance in such cases. In situations where an ultrasound will be performed over the abdomen, a full bladder may be requested; if this is necessary, it will be reminded again when confirming your appointment.

The duration of the examination varies depending on the reason for your visit; initial assessments generally take a little longer than routine check-ups. Sufficient time is allocated to take your medical history, perform the necessary examination and ultrasound, and discuss the results together. We kindly ask for your understanding if there are slight delays in appointment times on busy days.

If you feel more comfortable, you can come with a relative. You decide who will enter the consultation room; it is also completely natural if you prefer to be alone during the examination. In pregnancy follow-up, the involvement of the spouse is often beneficial for discussing topics related to birth preparation together.

The clinic is located within the boundaries of Yakuplu Neighborhood, Beylikdüzü / İstanbul. The current full address, map link, and directions are available on our contact page. If you want to learn the most suitable route by public transportation or car, you can ask us during your appointment confirmation.

The first examination after a missed period and a positive pregnancy test is generally considered appropriate during the 6th to 8th weeks of pregnancy; during this period, it can be assessed whether the gestational sac is implanted inside the uterus and the fetal heartbeat can be evaluated. If you experience abdominal pain, bleeding, or have a history of ectopic pregnancy, you should seek medical attention without delay. During the initial consultation, a detailed medical history is taken, initial tests are planned, and the follow-up program is determined together.

The number of ultrasounds in an uncomplicated pregnancy is planned along with follow-up visits: in the first trimester, the location and viability of the pregnancy; in the second trimester, detailed organ evaluation; and in the last period, the baby's growth and the amount of fluid are emphasized. In high-risk pregnancies, the frequency of check-ups may increase. The number of ultrasounds is not based on a standard list but is determined by your doctor according to the course of your pregnancy.

In pregnancy follow-up, during the first trimester, the nuchal translucency measurement along with the double screening test is performed; in the second trimester, detailed ultrasound and additional biochemical tests, if deemed necessary, are considered. Advanced genetic screening tests from maternal blood may also be recommended based on age, history, and initial results. Screening tests do not provide a definitive diagnosis; they only determine the risk level. If a high risk is detected, diagnostic tests are evaluated separately.

If pregnancy has not occurred within one year despite unprotected and regular intercourse, an evaluation is recommended. If you are over thirty-five years old or have irregular menstruation, endometriosis, a history of pelvic surgery, or a known hormonal disorder, it is more appropriate to apply within approximately six months without waiting for this period. The evaluation includes both partners; a targeted roadmap is created with hormone tests, ultrasound, and advanced examinations if necessary.

Bleeding, persistent severe abdominal pain, water breaking, unrelenting headache, blurred vision, sudden swelling in the hands and face, high fever, or a significant decrease in fetal movements are conditions that require urgent evaluation. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should go to the nearest healthcare facility without waiting for your appointment day. If you are unsure, it is also advisable to consult us by phone first.

The mode of delivery is not determined by a single rule; it is decided by evaluating the mother's health status, the baby's position and estimated weight, previous surgeries, and the course of the pregnancy together. If there is no medical contraindication, vaginal delivery is generally recommended; cesarean section is performed when deemed necessary for the mother or baby. The decision is made together based on the examination findings in the final period of pregnancy and your preferences.

In uncomplicated pregnancies, travel is generally possible, and the most comfortable period is usually the second trimester. During long trips, it is important to stand up at regular intervals, drink plenty of water, and wear the seatbelt positioned below the abdomen. In cases of bleeding, risk of preterm labor, or multiple pregnancies, you should discuss your travel plans with your doctor before setting out.

It is possible to have an examination during menstrual bleeding, but the reliability of some tests, such as a smear, may be affected by the bleeding. Therefore, routine check-ups and smears are usually preferred a few days after the bleeding has stopped. If you have complaints such as pain, fever, or unusually heavy bleeding, you should be evaluated without delay even during your menstrual period.

In our country, cervical cancer screening is generally started from the age of 30 and is repeated at certain intervals along with the HPV test. The appropriate interval for you varies according to your age, previous results, immune status, and any HPV positivity. Your screening interval will be determined by your doctor during the examination, taking into account your past results.

HPV positivity alone does not mean cancer; most of the virus is cleared by the immune system over time. What is important is which HPV type is detected and the result of the smear test; these two pieces of information are evaluated together to decide whether only follow-up is needed or if further examination such as colposcopy and biopsy is required. When you come with your result, the process will be planned step by step; the best approach is to follow the monitoring program rather than worry.

Yes. For individuals without sexual experience, the examination is planned so that the hymen is not touched; instead of an internal examination, ultrasound through the abdomen or, if necessary, through the rectum is preferred. It is sufficient to mention this at the beginning of the consultation, and the examination method will be adjusted accordingly. No procedure will be performed without your consent.

It is important to consult a doctor without self-medicating if you notice changes in the color or odor of discharge, itching, burning, pain during intercourse, or sores in the genital area. The cause is determined through examination and, if necessary, culture, smear, or blood tests, and treatment is arranged accordingly. In some infections, the partner also needs to be treated during the same period; this topic is discussed in detail during the examination.

A menstrual cycle consistently shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, absence of menstruation for more than three months, heavy bleeding that significantly increases the frequency of changing pads, spotting between periods, or bleeding after intercourse require evaluation. These conditions may be caused by hormonal factors, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid problems, or structural issues such as polyps and fibroids. The cause is investigated through examination, ultrasound, and necessary hormone tests; treatment is planned according to the results.

In the menopausal period, in addition to gynecological examination and ultrasound, monitoring bone health, breast cancer screening, and tracking metabolic values such as cholesterol and blood sugar become important. Any bleeding that occurs after menopause, no matter how minimal, must be evaluated. For complaints such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes, lifestyle adjustments and hormone therapy options for suitable candidates are discussed together, considering their benefits and risks.

Since the incisions made in minimally invasive surgeries are small, pain is generally less, and most patients can stand up on the same day. The length of hospital stay varies depending on the procedure performed; mild bloating and shoulder pain may be observed in the first few days after discharge, which is related to the gas used during the surgery and resolves quickly. Details such as avoiding heavy lifting, wound care, and follow-up appointments are provided in writing at discharge; the rate of recovery varies from person to person.

Before surgery, blood count, bleeding tests, blood type, biochemistry, and necessary infection tests are usually requested; depending on age and accompanying diseases, a chest X-ray and ECG may be added. Then, you will be evaluated by the anesthesiologist. You need to inform all the medications you are using, especially blood thinners and herbal supplements, in advance; some of them may need to be discontinued a certain period before the surgery.

No. A significant portion of fibroids and cysts do not cause symptoms and can be adequately monitored with periodic ultrasounds. The decision for surgery is made by considering the size, location, growth rate, ultrasound appearance of the mass, your age, pregnancy plans, and the severity of symptoms related to bleeding, pain, or pressure. Whether follow-up or treatment is needed is determined together during the examination after reviewing your findings.

The recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery, whether it is performed using a closed or open method, and your overall health condition. After procedures performed using the closed method, you can generally return to light daily activities sooner; it is important for your recovery to adhere to the recommended duration before lifting heavy objects, engaging in intense sports, and having sexual intercourse. The specific timeframe for you will be provided at discharge and during your first follow-up examination.

Since private health insurance agreements can change over time, it is best to ask us for the most up-to-date information before making an appointment. When you provide the name of your insurance company and your policy details, we can guide you on how the planned examination or procedure is covered under your policy. Because coverage and co-payments vary from policy to policy, we also recommend confirming this with your insurance company.

Since examination and procedure fees vary depending on the scope of the evaluation to be performed, you can obtain the most up-to-date information from the phone number or WhatsApp line on our contact page. When making an appointment, the planned procedures and how the billing will be done are clearly communicated in advance. If additional tests are needed during the examination, you will be informed before they are performed.

You can obtain the most accurate information about our clinic's agreement status with the Social Security Institution and billing procedures through our communication channels. How prescription, report, and referral processes are handled will also be explained during the same consultation. If you plan to request reimbursement from your institution, you need to keep the documents issued after the examination.
