Consultations

When to Visit a Gynecologist?

If you experience pelvic pain, irregular bleeding, or vaginal discharge, it is highly recommended to consult with a gynecologist. In addition to these, our specialists are prepared to help patients experiencing menopausal problems or perimenopausal bleeding disorders during menopause. 

Regular gynecological examinations are important even if there are no specific complaints. In this case, annual examinations are recommended for all adult or sexually active women. Regular screenings should become routine at a young age in order to prevent the majority of diseases.

Gynecological Examination Process

The gynecological examination typically involves a physical examination of the breasts and a pelvic exam. The pelvic exam allows the doctor to detect abnormalities in the female reproductive system and can involve various procedures depending on the patient's symptoms.

Vaginal Ultrasound and Folliculometry

A vaginal ultrasound is a safe procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the female pelvic organs. During folliculometry, a vaginal ultrasound is used to track the growth and release of eggs from the ovaries, which is particularly useful in fertility studies and treatments.

Endorette and Endometrial Biopsy

Endorette is a minimally invasive procedure to obtain endometrial tissue. This tissue is then examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells or effects of hormones on the lining.

IUD Insertion and Removal

Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a form of long-term contraception. The procedure involves placing a small, T-shaped device inside the uterus, which can prevent pregnancy for several years. It can be removed at any time by a trained healthcare professional.

Bartholin's Abscess Treatment

A Bartholin's abscess occurs when a Bartholin's gland, located near the vaginal opening, gets blocked and a cyst forms. This cyst can sometimes become infected, creating an abscess. Treatment can involve medication, minor surgical procedures, or, in more severe cases, removal of the gland.

HPV Typing

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) typing is a test to identify high-risk types of HPV that can cause cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. The test is performed by taking a sample of cells from the cervix.

Gardnerella, Trichomonas, and Atopobium Screening

These screenings are conducted to identify common infections of the vaginal area. These can cause various symptoms, including abnormal discharge and discomfort.

Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea, Ureaplasma Screening

These tests identify sexually transmitted infections that can cause a variety of symptoms, from mild irritation to serious reproductive issues. They involve taking a sample of cells or fluid for laboratory testing.
