IVF and Infertility Work
IVF is an assisted reproductive technique used for couples experiencing difficulty achieving pregnancy. İlknur Selvi Gümüş has worked in infertility and IVF since 2013.
Before treatment, the couple's fertility history, previous treatments and current health status are reviewed.
Female evaluation can include ovarian reserve, hormone levels, uterine anatomy and ovulation. AMH, FSH and estradiol can be used as part of ovarian reserve assessment.
Male fertility evaluation commonly includes semen analysis. Sperm count, movement and morphology can contribute to the overall fertility assessment.
The choice of treatment depends on age, medical history, infertility factors and previous treatment outcomes. In appropriate cases, different assisted reproductive techniques can be considered.
IVF Treatment Process With Dr. İlknur Selvi Gümüş
Dr. İlknur Selvi Gümüş plans IVF according to the patient's medical characteristics. The process begins with an evaluation of the couple's history and current health.
The menstrual cycle, ovarian reserve and hormone results are assessed. Additional evaluation of the uterus and fallopian tubes may be required depending on the clinical situation.
Hormonal medication is used to stimulate follicle development. Ultrasound examinations and, when needed, blood tests are used to monitor the response.
When follicles reach the appropriate stage, a final maturation medication is administered. Egg retrieval is then performed.
The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. Developing embryos are monitored before an appropriate embryo is selected for transfer.
A pregnancy test is performed after embryo transfer. Medication and monitoring schedules vary according to the individual IVF protocol.
Ovarian Reserve and AMH Testing
Ovarian reserve reflects the remaining egg potential of the ovaries and is an important part of fertility evaluation. İlknur Selvi Gümüş includes ovarian reserve assessment in infertility consultations.
AMH is one of the main tests used to evaluate ovarian reserve. FSH and estradiol can also be considered, particularly at specific points in the menstrual cycle.
AMH can generally be measured at different times during the menstrual cycle. FSH and estradiol are commonly evaluated around the third day of menstruation.
Test results alone do not determine fertility potential. Age, ultrasound findings, menstrual pattern and overall health also influence the assessment.
When ovarian reserve is low, treatment planning depends on age, pregnancy goals and other clinical findings.
Pregnancy Care and Childbirth
Pregnancy care involves regular assessment of maternal and fetal health throughout pregnancy. Ultrasound, blood tests and other examinations can be scheduled according to gestational age.
Routine pregnancy monitoring includes fetal development, heartbeat, growth and maternal health.
Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes or anemia during pregnancy can change the monitoring plan. Previous pregnancy complications can also be relevant.
The method of delivery depends on the course of pregnancy and the health of the mother and baby. Vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery are considered according to clinical circumstances.
Dr. İlknur Selvi Gümüş's Genital Aesthetic Work
Dr. İlknur Selvi Gümüş also works in female genital aesthetics. Her professional areas include both surgical and non-surgical procedures involving the genital region.
Labiaplasty and vaginal aesthetic procedures are among the treatment areas. Planning takes the patient's anatomy, symptoms and expectations into account.
Genital aesthetics is not limited to appearance. Some women experience physical discomfort because of the anatomy of the inner or outer labia.
Discomfort during exercise, wearing tight clothing or sexual activity can be among the reasons for consultation. Surgical and non-surgical options are evaluated according to the individual situation.
Vaginal Laser and Genital Treatments
Vaginal laser is a non-surgical approach that can be considered for selected vaginal and genital concerns. Her listed professional areas also include genital exosome procedures, PRP and mesotherapy.
Vaginal laser can be evaluated for selected symptoms associated with menopause, vaginal dryness and changes in vaginal tissues. Suitability depends on symptoms, age and gynecologic assessment.
Genital PRP uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's own blood. Genital mesotherapy involves selected injectable ingredients according to the purpose of treatment.
Exosome-based genital applications are also included among the clinic's genital care services. The appropriateness of these treatments depends on individual assessment and clinical circumstances.
Gynecologic Conditions and Treatments
Her gynecologic practice includes fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, endometriomas, ovarian cysts and menstrual disorders.
Uterine fibroids are benign growths arising from uterine muscle tissue. Some women experience heavy bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure because of fibroids.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition involving tissue similar to the uterine lining outside the uterus. Endometriomas, commonly called chocolate cysts, can occur in association with endometriosis.
Ovarian cysts are evaluated according to their size, structure and changes over time. Some cysts can resolve without intervention, while others may require further evaluation or treatment.
Menstrual irregularities can have different causes. Hormonal status, ovulation, age and other gynecologic factors can all be considered.
Functional Medicine and Women's Health
Functional medicine is an approach that considers different biological and lifestyle factors when evaluating health.
İlknur Selvi Gümüş works with functional medicine approaches in gynecology, bioidentical hormone therapy during menopause, low ovarian reserve and selected chronic women's health conditions.
Her listed areas also include functional approaches to recurrent vaginal yeast infections, HPV and endometriosis.
