Gynecology Treatment in Turkey

Is gynecological surgery in Turkey safe?

Yes, it is widely considered safe. Turkey has a robust healthcare infrastructure with numerous JCI-accredited hospitals that adhere to strict international safety and hygiene protocols. Gynecological surgeons are highly trained, often with experience in Europe or the US, and specialize in advanced techniques like laparoscopic and robotic surgery which reduce complication risks.

Are there legal restrictions on IVF in Turkey?

Yes. Under Turkish law, IVF treatment is generally restricted to legally married couples. Sperm donation, egg donation, and surrogacy are currently prohibited. However, for married couples using their own gametes, Turkey offers some of the most advanced and successful fertility treatments in the world, including PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) for screening embryos.

What is Cosmetic Gynecology?

Cosmetic or aesthetic gynecology involves procedures to improve the appearance and function of the genital area. Common treatments in Turkey include **Labiaplasty** (reshaping the labia), **Vaginoplasty** (tightening the vaginal canal, often after childbirth), and **Perineoplasty**. These are performed by specialized surgeons to enhance comfort and confidence.

How long is the recovery for a hysterectomy?

Recovery depends on the method. With **Robotic or Laparoscopic Hysterectomy** (widely available in Turkey), hospital stay is typically 1-2 days, and full recovery takes 2-4 weeks. Open abdominal surgery requires a longer recovery of 6-8 weeks. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your specific condition.

Do doctors speak English?

Yes, most specialists treating international patients are fluent in English. Many have published research in international journals or attended fellowships abroad. Additionally, international patient departments provide dedicated translators to assist with all communications, ensuring you fully understand your diagnosis and treatment plan.

Can I combine treatments?

Absolutely. It is common for women to combine procedures, often referred to as a "Mommy Makeover." This might include a tummy tuck, breast lift, and vaginoplasty performed in a single trip. Combining treatments saves on travel costs and recovery time, but eligibility depends on your overall health and the duration of the surgeries.

How much can I save compared to the UK/US?

Savings are substantial, typically between **50% and 70%**. The lower cost is due to the local economy and lower operating overheads, not a lack of quality. You receive the same high standard of care, FDA-approved devices (for implants or robotics), and medications at a fraction of the price.

Do I need a companion?

While not strictly mandatory for minor procedures, bringing a companion is highly recommended for major surgeries like hysterectomy or tummy tucks. Having support for luggage, mobility, and emotional well-being is invaluable. Many hospitals allow a companion to stay in your private room overnight at no extra charge.

What pre-op tests are required?

Standard pre-op tests include blood work (CBC, infectious diseases), ECG, and sometimes chest X-rays. For IVF, hormonal profiles and ultrasound scans are needed. Most clinics prefer to do these tests on-site upon your arrival to ensure accuracy, but they may ask for recent medical records beforehand for assessment.

How long should I stay in Turkey?

For IVF, a full cycle takes about 2-3 weeks (though this can be split). For minor cosmetic surgeries, 5-7 days is usually sufficient. For major surgeries like hysterectomy, plan for 10-14 days to allow for initial recovery and a final check-up before flying home.
