Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Doğan’s practice is urogynecology, which addresses disorders of the pelvic floor and lower urinary tract in women. This includes the assessment and management of urinary incontinence and other concerns related to bladder health. Evaluation in this area generally begins with a detailed account of the patient’s symptoms and how they affect daily life, followed by a clinical examination and a discussion of which conservative or procedural options may be appropriate for the individual case.

Dr. Doğan also focuses on endometriosis treatment, a condition that can cause pelvic pain and may be associated with other gynecological symptoms. Care is planned according to the patient’s history, findings on examination and any available imaging. In addition, he provides menopause care, offering assessment and guidance for women experiencing symptoms related to the menopausal transition. In each of these areas, the aim is to reach a clear understanding of the patient’s situation before options are discussed, and to explain the potential benefits and limitations of any proposed approach in a way that supports informed decision-making.

How Dr. Doğan works with international patients

Dr. Doğan speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may allow an initial discussion of symptoms and existing reports before any decision about traveling to İstanbul is made. Patients are encouraged to bring or send any relevant gynecological reports, imaging studies and records of earlier treatments, as these help inform the assessment.
