Her medical training began at Karadeniz Teknik University Faculty of Medicine, from which she graduated in 2003.

Clinical focus

The areas of expertise listed for Dr. Karaosmanoğlu are reduced ovarian reserve, AMH assessment and egg freezing. Reduced ovarian reserve describes a situation in which the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries is lower than would typically be expected. It can be relevant for women who are planning a pregnancy now or who wish to understand their reproductive options for the future. Dr. Karaosmanoğlu evaluates each patient individually, taking into account her history, her age and her personal circumstances, and discusses what the findings may mean for her.

AMH assessment refers to measuring anti-Müllerian hormone, a blood test that is used as one of the indicators of ovarian reserve. Dr. Karaosmanoğlu interprets AMH results alongside the patient’s clinical picture rather than in isolation, since a single laboratory value does not by itself determine a person’s fertility. Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a procedure in which eggs are collected and stored for possible later use. Whether egg freezing is an appropriate option is considered on a case-by-case basis, and the process, its steps and its limitations are explained to the patient during consultation so that she can make an informed decision.

How Dr. Karaosmanoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Karaosmanoğlu 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, such as ultrasound reports, laboratory and hormone results, pathology findings, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a patient living abroad to speak with Dr. Karaosmanoğlu about her situation before deciding whether to travel to İstanbul.
