• Conditions seen during pregnancy

• Menopausal process

A method in which the inside of the uterus is examined and treated by inserting a thin camera (hysteroscope) through the cervix.

Applications:

• Removal of intrauterine polyps

• Removal of intrauterine adhesions

• Investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding

• Removal of intrauterine devices (IUDs)

A traditional surgical method performed through a larger incision in the abdominal area.

Applications:

• Removal of large fibroids

• Advanced stage cancer surgery

• Emergency situations (e.g., ruptured ectopic pregnancy)

Delivery of the baby through an incision made in the abdomen and uterus.

It is preferred in cases where vaginal delivery is not possible or is risky.

• Labiaplasty (inner labia aesthetics)

• Vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening)

• Transvaginal Ultrasonography: Provides a more detailed view of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs using a probe inserted into the vagina.

• Abdominal Ultrasonography: Ultrasound performed through the abdomen to visualize pelvic organs and problems such as fibroids or cysts in the uterus.

A test performed to screen and early detect cervical cancer. Cells are taken from the cervix and examined under a microscope.

A test for screening human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the main cause of cervical cancer.

Hormone Tests:

• FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): Controls the stimulation of the ovaries and egg production.

• LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Triggers the ovulation process.

• Estrogen: Known as the female hormone.

• Progesterone: Prepares the uterine lining for pregnancy in the second half of the menstrual cycle.

• Thyroid Hormones (TSH, T3, T4): Assess thyroid gland function.

• Prolactin: Stimulates milk production.

• Testosterone: Known as the male hormone but also present in females.

• AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): Indicates ovarian reserve.

These tests are used to diagnose problems related to hormonal imbalances such as menstrual irregularity, infertility, and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).

• Vaginal Culture: A sample taken from vaginal discharge to investigate the presence of fungi, bacteria, or other microorganisms.

• Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Tests: Tests for infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas.

The aforementioned smear and HPV tests are screening tests for cervical cancer. Additional blood tests (e.g., CA-125) may be requested if necessary for uterine and ovarian cancers.

Before pregnancy, your doctor may request tests such as complete blood count, urinalysis, blood group, and infectious disease screening.

During pregnancy, various ultrasound and blood tests (double, triple, quadruple screening) are performed to monitor the baby's health and development.
