In the last 40 years, knowledge and treatment of infertility have shown great progress, encouraging an increasing number of couples to seek help to overcome their low fertility problems. There are now many options available to help diagnose the cause of infertility and ultimately give couples the chance to realize their dreams of having a baby. A large majority of infertile couples who seek help eventually have a baby, and the pregnancy rates for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) exceed the monthly pregnancy rate of many normally conceiving couples. Therefore, the earlier the treatment is sought, the higher the chance of pregnancy. Infertility treatment is specific to each couple. Treatments applied with couple-specific plans increase the chances of success. It emerges from the evaluation of information obtained after a detailed assessment of the woman and man. This assessment considers the individuals' social, moral, psychological, economic situations, previous illnesses, tests, and responses to treatments, as well as their age, ovarian functions, and hormonal status at the time of application. A personalized treatment plan should be made for them. Necessary changes and new plans should be able to be made according to the individuals' responses during treatment. It should be known that an approach that is valid for one couple may not be valid for another. The health unit where diagnosis and treatment will begin should be able to offer all kinds of modern services to its patients under suitable conditions in terms of physical structure, personnel, and equipment. The diagnosis and treatment of infertility is a team service, and success can only come if the service at every level is performed with the same quality and awareness. It should be known that unconsciousness, impatience, and panic can do more harm than good. The woman and man should try to understand and support each other in every way. The adequate medical support they receive in this union allows them to achieve pregnancy more quickly and easily. Unconscious and uninformed treatment applications reduce success. Failure to achieve the couple's concentration and cooperation leads to poor results.
GENITAL AESTHETICS
It has been stated that women not finding their genital organs aesthetic, not being able to enjoy sexual intercourse, and dogmatic thoughts about sexuality also psychologically hinder the person's sexual life and communication between couples, and that women with aesthetic concerns experience feelings such as being misunderstood, shyness, and embarrassment.
These factors can negatively affect sexual life, and additionally, the deformations, shape distortions, and changes in skin color that cause these feelings can negatively affect sexual life.
- Labiaplasty (inner and outer labia aesthetics)
- Surgical Vagina Tightening (Vaginoplasty)
- Surgical reduction of the labia majora
- Hymen Repair - Reconstruction (Hymenoplasty)
Many operations such as the removal of the deformation (scar) caused by the incision (episiotomy) made in the vagina during difficult births are performed in our hospital.
HYSTEROSCOPIC AND LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERIES
Hysteroscopy is the visualization of the inside of the uterus with optical instruments and the performance of intrauterine interventions. Hysteroscopy can be used for diagnostic purposes to examine the condition of the uterus, as well as for surgical treatment in some diseases.
These are;
- Diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine disorders that cause miscarriage: removal of a septum (curtain), opening of synechiae (adhesions)
- Diagnosis and treatment of abnormal bleeding
- Diagnosis and treatment of myomas (uterine tumors) and polyps
- Removal of an IUD that has migrated into the uterus, etc…
A laparoscope is an instrument used to observe the pelvic organs with the help of a thin optical tube to which a light source and camera are attached. Laparoscopy is performed using small incisions with diameters of only 5 mm and/or 1 cm. The most important advantages of laparoscopy are the short hospital stay, less postoperative pain, and a rapid recovery process. A small incision means a better cosmetic result.
Laparoscopy can be used in some cases as listed below:
- In infertility diagnosis and treatments
- In endometriosis and chocolate cyst treatments
- In procedures defined as tubal surgery, for opening tubal blockages or removing a damaged tube
- In myoma treatments (uterine tumors)
- In the treatment of ovarian cysts
- In cases of ectopic pregnancy
- In sterilization procedures (tying the tubes for contraception)
- In hysterectomy procedures (removal of the uterus)
COLPOSCOPY AND BIOPSIES
Colposcopy allows for a close examination of the cervix, vagina, or vulva. The illuminated instrument called a colposcope magnifies the image of the cervix, allowing for a better examination and visualization. During the examination, a speculum is placed in your vagina to allow a clear view of your cervix, after which secretions from the cervix and vagina are removed with saline solution. Afterward, your cervix will be moistened with a special liquid. If there is problematic tissue or cells, this liquid will cause them to turn white. This allows your doctor to examine the white areas in more detail and, if necessary, take a biopsy (sample) from these areas. The sample taken is examined by an expert (pathologist).
