 Prenatal Services: Supporting Every Step of Your Pregnancy Journey

Our prenatal care program is built on three core principles: early detection, individualized monitoring, and continuous support. Services Include:

●Early pregnancy confirmation tests involve urine and blood testing to detect hCG hormone, followed by an early ultrasound to verify the location and viability of the pregnancy. This helps rule out ectopic pregnancy and confirm gestational age.

●Routine prenatal check-ups include monitoring blood pressure and weight, urine analysis, fetal heart rate, and uterine measurements. These regular assessments are essential for tracking maternal and fetal health.

●Ultrasound scans during pregnancy help evaluate fetal growth and detect anomalies. Nuchal translucency, detailed anatomy, and third-trimester growth scans are performed at appropriate intervals.

●Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and genetic counseling enable early detection of chromosomal conditions through a simple blood test. Patients receive pre- and post-test support for interpreting results and planning care.

●High-risk pregnancy management is provided by a multidisciplinary team for conditions such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, thyroid disease, or a history of miscarriage or preterm birth.

●Labor preparation classes teach breathing, pain control, birth positions, and baby care, empowering expectant mothers and their partners.

●Prenatal nutrition counseling ensures mothers meet their changing nutritional needs during each trimester, with personalized plans for vitamins and a balanced diet.

●Pain management during labor includes options like epidural, spinal block, and non-pharmacological methods tailored to the patient’s birth plan.

●24/7 emergency care handles urgent maternal or fetal issues such as bleeding, reduced fetal movement, or preterm labor signs. Intensive monitoring and NICU consultation are available.

●Private birthing suites offer home-like comfort with advanced monitoring, natural or cesarean birth options, postpartum partner accommodation, and breastfeeding support.

According to the WHO, structured prenatal care significantly reduces maternal and neonatal morbidity (WHO, 2023).

 Gynecological Services: Preventive, Diagnostic, and Surgical Care

Beyond pregnancy, our hospital offers comprehensive gynecological care for women of all ages, from adolescence to post-menopause.

●Beyond pregnancy, our hospital offers comprehensive women’s health care for all ages, from adolescence to post-menopause.

●Routine gynecological exams include a pelvic exam and Pap smear to screen for cervical abnormalities and early signs of infection or disease.

●HPV testing and vaccination are offered as part of routine preventive care, especially for women under 45 or those with irregular Pap smear results.

●Colposcopy and cervical biopsy are performed when abnormal cells are detected, allowing accurate diagnosis of pre-cancerous conditions.

●Ultrasound and hysteroscopy are imaging methods used to investigate pelvic pain, irregular bleeding, or fertility issues. They allow direct visualization of the uterus and ovaries.

●Menstrual disorders such as heavy periods, irregular cycles, PCOS, or endometriosis are managed with individualized plans combining medication, hormonal therapy, or surgery.

●Family planning and contraception services include counseling for birth control methods and fertility preservation. Patients can choose from hormonal, barrier, or long-term options like IUDs.

●STI testing and treatment are offered confidentially for sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, and HIV. Partner management and education are also included.

●Menopause management addresses symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disruption. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and lifestyle changes are tailored to each woman.

●Minimally invasive gynecological surgery such as laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are used for conditions like fibroids, ovarian cysts, or uterine abnormalities, ensuring quicker recovery and less scarring.

●Fertility consultations provide hormonal profiling, cycle tracking, ultrasound monitoring, and lifestyle support for women trying to conceive naturally or through assisted methods.

A study published in The Lancet Regional Health emphasized the role of integrated gynecological services in reducing cancer-related delays in middle-income countries like Turkey (Sahin et al., 2022).

 Prenatal Emergency & High-Risk Monitoring Unit

Below is a list of the most critical prenatal warning signs that should never be ignored during pregnancy — each explained in detail to help you recognize when immediate medical attention is necessary.

 Sudden Bleeding

Vaginal bleeding at any stage of pregnancy may be a warning sign. In early pregnancy, it could indicate a threatened miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. In later stages, it may be due to placental issues like placenta previa or placental abruption — both requiring immediate medical attention. At Türkiye Hospital, such cases are evaluated urgently with ultrasound and blood tests, and managed in our obstetric emergency unit.

 Preterm Labor Signs

Symptoms like regular uterine contractions, lower back pain, pelvic pressure, or cervical dilation before week 37 can indicate preterm labor. This condition puts both the mother and baby at risk for complications. Our high-risk pregnancy unit provides tocolytics (medications to stop labor), fetal lung maturation injections, and monitoring for early intervention.

 Reduced Fetal Movement

A noticeable decrease in the baby's movements, especially in the third trimester, may signal fetal distress, cord issues, or placental insufficiency. Patients are advised to perform a “kick count” and report reduced movement immediately. Türkiye Hospital uses cardiotocography (CTG) and Doppler ultrasound to assess fetal well-being and may proceed to early delivery if necessary.

 Amniotic Fluid Leakage

Leaking clear or slightly pinkish fluid may mean that the amniotic sac has ruptured (water breaking). If this happens before labor starts — particularly before 37 weeks — it's considered preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), which increases the risk of infection. Immediate evaluation and hospitalization may be required. We provide sterile speculum exams, fluid tests, and antibiotics or steroid treatment as needed.
