Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Seyidova’s practice is urogynecology, which addresses disorders of the pelvic floor and lower urinary tract in women. She evaluates and treats urinary incontinence and related bladder health concerns, taking the patient’s symptoms, history and any previous treatments into account before discussing possible approaches. She also sees women with endometriosis, a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it and may cause pelvic pain or affect fertility. Treatment is planned according to the individual patient’s symptoms, findings and goals.

Her other areas of expertise include menopause care, which involves assessing symptoms and discussing management options appropriate to the patient’s overall health, and the treatment of sexual dysfunction. She also addresses fertility-related concerns, including low ovarian reserve as reflected in AMH levels and egg freezing for fertility preservation. In each of these areas, Dr. Seyidova’s role is to explain the findings, outline the available options and support the patient in reaching a decision that fits her situation.

How Dr. Seyidova works with international patients

Dr. Seyidova consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer another language. Before a visit, the 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 also available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Seyidova before deciding whether to travel.
