About the department
The Department of Reproductive Medicine at the Medipol Mega University Hospital offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for fertility treatment in men and women. The department's specialists have long successful experience, and therefore they effectively detect and eliminate the causes of infertility, and also provide high-quality medical care to couples with infertility of unknown origin. Particular focus is on in vitro fertilization (IVF), which today gives the highest chances of conceiving a child to couples who cannot achieve pregnancy naturally. The department is headed by Assist. Prof. Dr. med. Ayşe Karahasanoglu.
The treatment begins with a consultation with the attending physician, who studies the medical history of the couple, clarifies the duration of unprotected sexual life, and then prescribes the necessary diagnostic examinations to detect the causes of infertility. Infertility can be caused by health problems in both women and men. There are also cases of combined infertility, when both of the spouses have problems, which prevent them from conceiving a child. With the results of diagnostics, the specialist in reproductive medicine develops the optimal treatment regimen, which will ensure the couple with a long-awaited pregnancy.
One of the most effective treatment methods for infertility is IVF. This method is effective even in the case of fallopian tube obstruction, severe male factor infertility (oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, cryptozoospermia, azoospermia), diminished ovarian reserve, genetic pathology in parents.
In vitro fertilization consists of several stages. If the indication for IVF is only the female factor of infertility, there is no need for ICSI, TESA, MESA techniques, transplantation of the patient's own cryopreserved eggs or donor eggs, then IVF consists of the following stages:
Preparation of the woman's body for hormonal stimulation and ovarian stimulation
Follicular puncture
Fertilization of eggs obtained as a result of puncture
Embryo culture
Embryo transfer
Pregnancy test
The department's competence also includes the preimplantation genetic diagnosis to exclude genetic diseases in the embryo before it is transferred to the uterine cavity. Thus, future parents can be sure that the child does not have any genetic syndromes.
If the diagnostic tests reveal pathological changes in the spermogram, the fertility specialist may recommend IVF types, which are more complex and effective for the male infertility factor. These include intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) – the technique, which helps inject the sperm cell directly into the egg cytoplasm, bypassing all its membranes. The TESA and MESA methods are used when the spermogram shows a complete absence of sperm, which can fertilize an egg. The sperm is extracted from the eggs or appendages, processed in the laboratory and injected into the egg.
Since the treatment of infertility can be a cause of stress, the couples receive professional psychological support and can also share experiences in support groups.
The department is one of the best in Turkey in the field of its expertise, and also regularly admits patients from foreign countries for treatment. Thanks to the advanced medical and technical base, the professionalism of doctors and an individual approach, it achieves high success rates of the IVF procedure – the couples obtain the happiness of being parents of healthy babies.
The department's range of medical services includes:
Diagnostics and treatment of uterine diseases, which prevent the conception of pregnancy
Endoscopic procedures for the diagnostics and treatment of fallopian tube obstruction and pathological changes in the ovaries
Diagnostics and monitoring of couples with recurrent miscarriage
Ovarian stimulation
Intrauterine insemination
In vitro fertilization (IVF)
