Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Yılmaz’s practice is urogynecology, which addresses disorders of the female pelvic floor and lower urinary tract. She evaluates and treats women with urinary incontinence and other bladder health concerns. Her work also covers the care of women during menopause, including the assessment and management of menopause-related symptoms.

Dr. Yılmaz additionally provides treatment of sexual dysfunction and treatment of endometriosis. In each of these areas, care begins with a careful assessment of the individual patient’s symptoms and history, after which the available options are discussed so that a suitable approach can be agreed on together. Treatment plans are individualized, and the most appropriate course depends on the findings of the clinical evaluation.

How Dr. Yılmaz works with international patients

Dr. Yılmaz consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options that may be appropriate. For patients who are unable to travel initially, a video consultation with Dr. Yılmaz can be arranged for international patients, which may be used to review reports and discuss next steps before any in-person evaluation.
