Süreyya Menteş, MD is a specialist in Gynecology & Obstetrics who sees patients at Acibadem Fulya Hospital and the Acibadem Göktürk Outpatient Clinic, both in İstanbul. With more than 54 years in medicine, her practice covers general gynecological care, pregnancy follow-up and delivery, and the concerns that often arise in the years around and after menopause, including pelvic pain, urinary incontinence and bladder health.

Dr. Menteş graduated from İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine in 1972 and completed her specialty training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Haseki Training and Research Hospital in 1981. She then worked at Jinemed Diagnosis and Treatment Center from 1982 to 1984, managed her own private practice from 1984 to 1992, and was on the staff of İstanbul V.K. V Amerikan Hospital from 1992 to 2000. She returned to private practice management in 2000 and joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2007. She is a member of TJOD (Turkish Gynecology and Obstetrics Association), the İstanbul Medical Chamber and the Perinatology Association.

Clinical focus

In gynecology, Dr. Menteş evaluates and treats menstrual irregularities, sexually transmitted diseases and HPV, and provides care for women going through menopause. A significant part of her work concerns pelvic pain treatment and urinary incontinence and bladder health, conditions that can affect daily life and that are typically assessed through a careful history, examination and, where indicated, further testing before any treatment plan is discussed. Because the causes of pelvic pain and bladder symptoms can vary, her approach is to clarify the underlying problem first and to review the available options with the patient.

In obstetrics, she performs detailed ultrasound examinations during pregnancy and carries out cesarean deliveries. Pregnant patients are followed through routine antenatal visits, with imaging used to monitor the development of the baby and to inform decisions about delivery.

How Dr. Menteş works with international patients

Dr. Menteş consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as ultrasound, MRI or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the practical details of 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. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Menteş before travelling or as part of follow-up.
