Clinical focus

In gynecology, Dr. Meşeci evaluates and treats menstrual irregularities, menstrual pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and sexually transmitted diseases. A particular area of her practice is endometriosis treatment, where her training in operative gynecological endoscopy and minimal access surgery is relevant to patients for whom a surgical approach is considered. She also provides menopause care, including assessment of symptoms and discussion of management options suited to each patient’s medical history.

In obstetrics, she offers pregnancy follow-up and manages delivery, including epidural delivery, cesarean delivery, and water birth. She also treats ectopic pregnancy. Within reproductive medicine, her practice includes egg freezing and the assessment of women with low ovarian reserve. Treatment decisions in each of these areas depend on the individual clinical picture, and the suitability of any particular procedure is determined after examination and review of the relevant findings.

How Dr. Meşeci works with international patients

Dr. Meşeci consults in 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 be useful for an initial review of records before travel or for follow-up after treatment.
