In reproductive and general gynecological care, Dr. Bayraktaroğlu evaluates infertility, drawing on her training in assisted reproductive treatments. She manages ectopic pregnancy, Bartholin cyst, sexually transmitted diseases, premenstrual syndrome and menstrual irregularities. Her obstetric work covers pregnancy follow-up and delivery. Each patient is assessed individually, and the suitability of any treatment depends on the findings of the clinical evaluation.

How Dr. Bayraktaroğlu works with international patients

Dr. Bayraktaroğlu speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for other languages.
