As a Specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology, I closely monitor the effects of infections such as the flu on both the mother and the baby during pregnancy. During this period, the natural weakening of the immune system makes expectant mothers more vulnerable to infections. The flu can be a serious health concern during pregnancy; therefore, knowing the methods of prevention and how to manage the illness is of vital importance.
Let us embark on a journey toward ourselves. Let’s name this adventure “The Mind That Won’t Stay Silent.”
As a reflexologist, I work with deep admiration for the human body's natural healing potential. Reflexology is one of the methods that activate this potential, blending ancient knowledge with modern approaches to provide a holistic state of well-being. Reflexology is a complementary therapy that aims to interact with various organs and systems of the body by applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. The basic principle is that every part of the body has a corresponding area on the feet, hands, or ears, and stimulating these areas can positively affect the related organs or systems.
Autoimmune diseases occur when an overactive immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own healthy tissues. More than 80 diseases have been identified as autoimmune diseases. Some examples include multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, eczema, psoriasis, and thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's and Graves' disease.
Neck aging is often noticed earlier than facial aging and can be aesthetically disturbing.
Since the 1970s, acupuncture has gained acceptance in the Western world, especially in the United States and Europe, where it is commonly used as a supportive treatment for various health issues.
Commonly known as “piles” or “hemorrhoids,” hemorrhoidal disease arises when the vascular cushions in the lower part of the anal canal become enlarged and displaced. This condition typically presents with symptoms such as anal pain, bleeding, itching, discharge, and palpable swelling. It significantly affects patients' quality of life and work performance, and its diagnosis and treatment should be approached based on the latest medical literature.
In this article, I’d like to share how physiotherapy and Pilates complement each other perfectly. Both physiotherapy and Pilates are highly effective in preserving physical health, managing pain, and correcting muscular imbalances. Although they differ in approach and application, their ultimate goal aligns—promoting a healthier, more balanced body.
Laser, a powerful light technology, enables tissue regeneration and collagen remodeling by focusing energy on a specific point. While many medical specialties benefit from laser treatments, its role in gynecology—especially functional gynecology—is becoming increasingly significant. Laser therapy is not only used for cosmetic concerns but also provides a non-surgical, effective alternative in the treatment of various gynecological conditions.
Today, one of the most effective and widely preferred methods for treating tooth loss is the use of dental implants. Providing a solution that closely mimics natural teeth both functionally and aesthetically, implants offer patients a long-term improvement in their quality of life. However, achieving successful outcomes requires detailed planning, precise surgical execution, and careful prosthetic rehabilitation. In this article, I will cover the fundamentals of implant surgery, the types of implant-supported prostheses, and the advantages of using bar-retained monolithic zirconia prostheses in fully edentulous patients.
Cancer remains one of the most significant health problems today. Fundamentally, this disease is characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of cells and can originate from almost any cell type. For many years, conventional treatment methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have been utilized, and they still constitute the main components of cancer treatment today.
As a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, I have observed over the years that aging is not merely the result of time passing. It is, in fact, a consequence of biochemical changes occurring in our bodies, cellular damage, and lifestyle choices. Healthy aging is not just about living longer; it is about maintaining a high quality of life, preserving independence, remaining pain-free, and staying functional throughout the aging process. This is where the concept of "longevity," which we hear more frequently nowadays, comes into play. Longevity is a holistic approach that aims not only to extend lifespan but also to protect physical and mental health during the later stages of life.
As an Orthopedic and Traumatology specialist, one of the most common health problems I encounter in my daily clinical practice is injuries to the ankle and knee regions. These types of musculoskeletal injuries are not limited to professional athletes; they are also frequently seen in individuals who lead an active lifestyle, engage in regular physical activity, or have occupations that require prolonged standing or movement.
Today, interventional cardiology methods are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases. These procedures are typically minimally invasive, performed through the groin or wrist, and do not require open-heart surgery.
Thanks to advanced surgical techniques, we are now able to successfully treat many eye diseases. One such technique is vitrectomy surgery. This method plays a critical role in preserving and restoring vision, especially in serious conditions such as diabetes (diabetic retinopathy), retinal detachment, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and vitreous hemorrhages.
As a specialist in periodontology, I always emphasize that oral health is not limited to the teeth alone. The health of the supporting structures around the teeth—such as the gums, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, and cementum—is just as important as the teeth themselves. These supporting structures form the foundation of overall dental health. Diseases affecting these tissues are known as "periodontal diseases" and, if left untreated, can lead to serious consequences, including tooth loss. So, who needs periodontal treatment? I'd like to elaborate on this question based on both scientific evidence and my clinical experience.
Facial paralysis is a condition that arises from impairment of the nerves controlling facial muscles, leading to significant functional and aesthetic challenges for the individual. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial in managing this condition. As a specialist in physical therapy and rehabilitation, I have personally witnessed the critical role physiotherapy plays in the treatment of facial paralysis in each of my patients.
One of the most fundamental and impactful areas of communication that individuals encounter in daily life is undoubtedly within the family. The family is the very first place where a person’s emotional, social, and psychological development takes shape. As a clinical psychologist, one of the most common issues I observe in my professional practice is the negative impact of dysfunctional family communication on individuals.
As a practicing dentist, the majority of my patients seek treatment for toothaches, cavities, or aesthetic concerns. However, what many of them do not realize is that the real threat to oral health often lies in gum diseases. These conditions typically progress silently; they do not cause pain in the early stages, but if not diagnosed and treated in time, they can lead to serious consequences, including tooth loss. In this article, I aim to raise awareness among my patients and the broader community by sharing everything you need to know about gum diseases from a professional perspective.
