As a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, the health of the female reproductive system and the management of the childbirth process are my areas of expertise and primary focus. In cases requiring surgery, I successfully perform various surgical procedures aimed at maintaining the highest level of health and quality of life for my patients.

The main surgical methods I perform include:

Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimally Invasive Surgery)
This increasingly used method in gynecology is performed through small incisions in the abdominal area using a camera and instruments.

Applications:

• Diagnostic laparoscopy (exploring the abdominal cavity for diagnosis)

• Removal of ovarian cysts

• Removal of fibroids (laparoscopic myomectomy)

• Treatment of endometriosis

• Hysterectomy (laparoscopic removal of the uterus)

• Treatment of ectopic pregnancy

• Tubal ligation

• Surgery for uterine prolapse

Hysteroscopy
This method involves examination and intervention inside the uterus through a thin camera (hysteroscope) inserted via the cervix.

Applications:

• Removal of intrauterine polyps

• Treatment of intrauterine adhesions

• Investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding

• Removal of intrauterine device (IUD)

Open Surgery
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)

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

Preferred when normal vaginal delivery is not possible or carries risk.

Genital Aesthetic Surgery

• Labiaplasty (inner labia reshaping)

• Vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening)

Gynecologists may order various tests to assess patients’ overall health, especially reproductive system health, diagnose diseases, and determine appropriate treatments. The types of tests vary depending on the patient’s complaints, physical examination findings, and the physician’s clinical evaluation.

Common tests frequently requested by gynecologists:

Gynecological Examination
A basic procedure performed on every patient. The doctor examines the external and internal genital organs (vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries) by inspection and palpation.

Ultrasonography

• Transvaginal Ultrasound: A probe inserted into the vagina provides detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs.

• Abdominal Ultrasound: Ultrasound performed over the abdomen to visualize pelvic organs and detect issues such as fibroids or cysts in the uterus.

Pap Smear Test
A screening test for cervical cancer. Cells are collected from the cervix and examined under a microscope.

HPV Test
Test for human papillomavirus (HPV), the main cause of cervical cancer.

Hormonal Evaluation
Hormone tests include:

• FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): Controls ovarian stimulation and egg production.

• LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Triggers ovulation.

• Estrogen: Known as the female sex 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: Though known as a male hormone, it is present in women too.

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

These tests help diagnose problems related to hormonal imbalances such as irregular menstruation, infertility, and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).

Infection Screening

• Vaginal Culture: Sample taken from vaginal discharge to detect fungi, bacteria, or other microorganisms.

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

Cancer Screening
Pap smear and HPV tests are screening tools for cervical cancer. Additional blood tests (e.g., CA-125) may be requested for uterine or ovarian cancer if needed.

Pregnancy-Related Tests
Before pregnancy, your doctor may order complete blood count, urinalysis, blood group typing, and infectious disease screenings.

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