Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Ağca’s work is the evaluation and management of endometriosis, including endometrioma, also known as a chocolate cyst. She also sees patients with menstrual irregularities and polycystic ovary syndrome, conditions in which a careful history and clinical assessment guide the choice of treatment. Her clinical interests further include menopause care and the treatment of sexual dysfunction, both of which are addressed with attention to the individual patient’s symptoms and reproductive health needs.

In addition, Dr. Ağca provides care for sexually transmitted diseases and for ectopic pregnancy. On the obstetric side, her expertise includes epidural delivery and caesarean delivery. The appropriate approach in each case depends on the patient’s diagnosis, medical history and personal circumstances, and is discussed with the patient as part of treatment planning.

How Dr. Ağca works with international patients

Dr. Ağca consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, 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 who wish to discuss their situation before travelling or to review findings from a distance. Any recommendations made are based on the information available at the time and may be revised as further evaluation is completed.
