At the first visit, you are asked in detail about your complaint, your menstrual cycle, past illnesses and surgeries, the medications you use and your pregnancy history. Then, if deemed necessary, a gynecological examination and ultrasound are performed; additional tests such as a Pap smear, infection screening or blood tests are planned depending on the situation. At the end of the examination, the findings are explained, the options are described and the next step is decided together. Bringing any previous test results with you speeds up the evaluation.

Yes. For topics such as pregnancy follow-up, infertility investigation, vaginismus and sexual counseling, it is often helpful for your partner to join the consultation as well; if you wish, a relative can also accompany you. You decide who will be with you during the gynecological examination; if you prefer, you can be alone in the examination area. Privacy and confidentiality are protected with the same care at every visit; you can ask your questions at any stage of the consultation.

Because private health insurance varies from policy to policy, we recommend confirming with your insurance company before your appointment whether your insurance covers examination and procedure costs. For births and surgeries performed in hospital, agreement status depends on the hospital concerned. Clear information on insurance and payment is given during the examination, according to your personal situation.

Pregnancy follow-up continues at our private practice in Nilüfer, Bursa; the hospital where the birth will be planned is decided in the later weeks of pregnancy, taking into account the hospital's facilities, insurance agreements and your preference. Information on hospital registration before birth, the necessary documents and how the day of birth works is given during the follow-up examinations.

Fees depend on the scope of the examination, the type of procedure to be performed and the choice of hospital or private practice, so prices are not published on the website. Information about examination and procedure fees is given at the examination, after a personal evaluation has been made; SGK and private insurance status are also discussed at the consultation. The general framework can be asked about by phone or WhatsApp, but an examination is required for clear information.

All information you share during the examination is protected under physician–patient confidentiality and Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK); your health data are a special category of personal data and, except where required by law, are not shared with anyone without your consent. For sensitive topics such as the hymen, vaginismus and sexual health, consultation records are kept with the same confidentiality; no patient images or reviews are published on this website. Your appointment information is not passed on to third parties.

Yes. In addition to Turkish, Op. Dr. Hakan Sağer speaks English, Arabic, Persian and Azerbaijani; examinations and information in these languages can be provided without an interpreter. Foreign patients living in Bursa or coming for treatment can state their preferred language when making an appointment. Written information and consent forms are prepared in Turkish; their content is explained verbally during the examination in a language the patient understands.

In an uncomplicated pregnancy, check-ups are usually planned every four weeks until week 28, every two weeks between weeks 28 and 36, and weekly after week 36. In high-risk pregnancies these intervals are shortened. The total number of check-ups varies with the course of the pregnancy; the schedule is set together at the first examination and updated according to the results.

The most suitable period for a 4D ultrasound is usually weeks 24–30 of pregnancy. In these weeks the baby's facial features have become distinct, the amount of fluid around the baby is sufficient and there is plenty of room to move. In earlier weeks the face is not yet full; after week 32, as the baby grows, seeing the face may become more difficult. The suitable week is determined with your physician at your check-ups.

The week of pregnancy is counted from the first day of the last menstrual period, not from the date of fertilization. By this calculation, pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. At the first ultrasound, the week is confirmed by measuring the baby's crown-rump length; for those with irregular periods, the ultrasound measurement is used as the basis. In IVF pregnancies, the date of embryo transfer is used. Because the week determines the timing of all tests, it is clarified at the first examination.

The basic tests are a complete blood count, blood type and Rh, fasting blood sugar, a thyroid function test, rubella and chickenpox immunity, and screening for hepatitis B, HIV and syphilis. The uterus and ovaries are assessed with a gynecological examination and ultrasound; if it is due, a Pap smear is taken. If there is a chronic illness, a family history or a previous pregnancy loss, additional tests and, if needed, genetic counseling are planned.

In Türkiye, elective termination of pregnancy is legal up to the 10th week of pregnancy under Law No. 2827 on Population Planning. The week is determined by the date of the last menstrual period and ultrasound measurement. For married women, the spouse's consent is required; for those under 18, the permission of a parent or legal guardian is required. Beyond this limit, termination can only be performed in cases of medical necessity and with a board decision.

Vaginismus is the involuntary contraction of the muscles at the vaginal opening when intercourse or an examination is attempted; even though the woman wants it, penetration does not happen or is very painful. It is mostly caused by psychological factors such as learned fear, misinformation, anticipation of pain and anxiety. Less commonly, an infection or an anatomical condition is also present; for this reason, the first step is both a physical and an emotional evaluation.

Counseling comes into consideration if there is a difficulty in sexual life that has lasted for several months and causes distress to the person or the couple: recurrent pain, low desire, difficulty reaching orgasm, changes after childbirth or menopause, and incompatibility between partners. Waiting for the problem to resolve on its own may reinforce the cycle. Early evaluation prevents a physical cause from being overlooked and makes finding a solution easier.

The most common symptoms are hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, palpitations, irritability, difficulty with attention and memory, joint pain and vaginal dryness. Painful intercourse due to vaginal dryness and frequent urinary tract infections may become more noticeable over time. The severity of symptoms varies from woman to woman; some women go through this period with mild symptoms, while in others quality of life is markedly impaired and treatment is required.

There are four main surgeries under the heading of genital aesthetic surgery: reduction of the inner lips (labiaplasty), tightening of a vaginal canal that has widened after childbirth (vaginoplasty), repair of the perineum between the vaginal opening and the anus (perineoplasty), and reduction of excess skin over the clitoris (hoodoplasty). These can be planned alone or together. Which procedure is suitable is determined at the examination according to the source of the complaint.

Women who have completed their family and have complaints such as a feeling of looseness after vaginal birth, reduced sensation during sexual intercourse or being unable to keep a tampon in place may be candidates. Not having benefited sufficiently from pelvic floor exercises is a reason to choose it. In the presence of pregnancy, the postpartum period, active infection, a bleeding disorder or advanced prolapse, these conditions are addressed first. Suitability is determined at the examination together with a pelvic floor and prolapse assessment.

Because the procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, no pain is felt during the operation. For the first few days, most patients describe mild to moderate burning and tenderness; pain is managed with the recommended medications, cold application and loose cotton underwear. Sitting and walking may be uncomfortable in the first days. Severe pain, increasing swelling or fever should be reported to the doctor.

At the examination, the location and amount of the hymenal remnants are assessed. In the temporary method, the remaining tissue edges are joined with fine, dissolvable stitches shortly before the planned intercourse. In the permanent method, the mucosal edges are freshened and sutured more deeply and in layers, and the tissue heals and fuses together. The procedure is completed in 20–40 minutes under local anesthesia; sedation can be added if desired, and you go home the same day.

Because the lips are a mobile area, the effect of hyaluronic acid lip filler usually lasts 6–12 months. The duration varies with the product, the amount applied and the person's metabolism. The effect is temporary; the product is broken down by the body over time. Details are explained on the lip filler page.

The effect usually lasts 6–12 months. Because the lips are constantly moving, the product may be broken down faster than in other areas. The duration varies with the product, the amount applied and the person's metabolism; the effect is temporary.

No. In a liquid facelift, no incision is made and no excess skin is removed; only the lost volume is supported. It cannot achieve the expected change in people with marked skin sagging; in that case a plastic surgery evaluation is recommended.

No. Nose filler is a treatment that adds volume; it does not make the nose smaller or narrower. It can make a small hump or hollow on the nasal bridge look straighter. If there is a large hump, a marked deviation or a breathing problem, filler is not suitable.
