| Content | Cataract, also known as the disease of old age, is a type of eye disease that seriously affects the quality of life as well as eye health. Cataract manifests itself with signs such as double vision, blurred vision, and deterioration of night vision, causing a decrease in vision over time. This disease, which affects your living standards, needs to be treated. It can be said that medical treatment of cataract with drugs is not possible.
It is performed with a surgical operation as the only treatment of cataract disease. Today, this surgery is performed with laser and with very advanced technologies. The most important point here is that the patient who will have cataract surgery is recommended to have an ophthalmologist who is an expert in this field. This surgery, which is directly proportional to the cataract surgery experience of the ophthalmologist, can be performed and treated during the day. This should be done by the best doctors, in the best and sterile environment.
Is there a risk of cataract surgery?
Like any eye surgery, cataract surgery carries risks. However, the success rate of the surgery is very high despite the risks it carries. With today's technologies, cataract surgery methods have been developed and they are performed with micro incisions and without stitches. After cataract surgery performed by a specialist surgeon, the patient can quickly return to his daily life. As we have mentioned before, it is of great importance that cataract surgery is performed by specialist physicians. Therefore, you should be careful when choosing a hospital.
What should be considered after cataract surgery?
After cataract surgery, the patient should be fed with light foods.
Heavy loads should not be lifted for 1 week after the operation.
The person who had the surgery should not drive the day after the surgery.
As for taking a shower, it is possible to take a shower as long as the water does not touch the eyes.
After the operation, pressure should not be applied to the eye and should be protected from impacts.
On the first day after the operation, the eyes can be blurred and it is a normal phenomenon. Support can be obtained to walk in a healthy way. | Strabotomy
In cases that do not improve with glasses and exercise programs, surgery is applied to patients with congenital strabismus. With this treatment, it is done by increasing the strength of some of the 6 muscles in our eyes, by reducing some of them or by changing the effect points of some of them. Although early treatment is preferred in strabismus, treatment is possible in adulthood as well.
The operation is preferably performed under general anesthesia. The eye is closed after the operation. On the 1st day after the operation, the eye is opened and dressed. Afterward, the eye is not closed, there is no pain, only a slight stinging sensation may be felt in the patient. Patients can return to their daily lives 6-7 days after the surgery. Redness in the eyes lasts about 3-4 weeks, decreases with the use of drops.
Surgical intervention
Strabismus surgeries can be performed under general anesthesia in children and local or general anesthesia in adults.
How long does strabismus surgery take?
Although the duration of the operation varies according to the number of muscles involved, it takes an average of 1 hour.
The recovery process after strabismus surgery
Patients can return to their daily lives 6-7 days after the surgery. Redness in the eyes lasts about 3-4 weeks, decreases with the use of drops.
Is strabismus surgery risky?
As with any surgical procedure, strabismus surgery also has risks. Experienced surgeons reduce this risk considerably. | Aesthetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty) or nose reshaping surgery is the most commonly applied plastic surgery. With aesthetic nose surgery, it is possible to reduce or enlarge your nose, change the shape of the tip or bridge of the nose, narrow the width of your nostrils or change the angle between your nose and upper lip. At the same time, if you have a congenital or injury-related deformity, it can be corrected or some breathing problems can be eliminated. |
Breast Health Package for Women Under 40
Our Breast Health Center, which is a part of Yaşam Hospital Oncology Center, offers all the possibilities of technology to provide the best care to every woman.
Early Detection of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer that women can encounter in their lifetime (Early detection can save your life).
Self Examination
From the age of 20, all women should perform a breast self-exam once a month (about one week after the start of each menstrual period). If you feel an unusual lump or anything else, it’s important to contact your doctor right away.
What is Breast Ultrasound?
Ultrasound is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to take pictures of internal organs and tissues.
When Should Breast Ultrasound Be Done?
From the age of 25, annual routine ultrasound follow-ups should not be interrupted. Ultrasound can be applied safely as it does not contain radiation and has no side effects on the body.
What Are the Risks of Breast Ultrasound?
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, to produce images. Ultrasound technology has no known risks.
What Happens After Breast Ultrasound?
After your breast ultrasound, the radiologist interprets the images and reports the results to your doctor. This information will also be shared with you if any additional testing is needed or follow-up is recommended.
What are the Benefits of Breast Ultrasound?
Ultrasound scanning is non-invasive (no needles or injections).
Ultrasound imaging is extremely safe and uses no radiation.
An ultrasound scan gives a clear picture of soft tissues that don’t show up well on x-ray images.
Ultrasound provides real-time imaging. This makes it easy to guide minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopsies and fluid aspiration.
Ultrasound imaging helps detect lesions in women with dense breasts.
Ultrasound can help detect and classify a breast lesion that cannot be adequately interpreted by mammography alone.
Using ultrasound, doctors can determine that many areas are caused by normal tissue (such as fat lobules) or benign cysts. For most women age 40 and older, a mammogram will be used along with the ultrasound. For women under the age of 40, ultrasound alone is often sufficient to determine whether an area of concern needs a biopsy.
What Does the Breast Health Package Consist of?
Breast health package consists of General Surgery Examination and Breast USG.
Note from your doctor:
Breast ultrasound is a safe, painless imaging method for examining targeted areas of breast tissue. With breast ultrasound, we provide detailed images of breast tissue and can diagnose cysts or lumps if present. Diagnosing possible risks at an early stage provides a very important gain in the treatment process. |

Reducing labia minora size
Excess lip tissue can be bent, twisted, compressed. This, can cause physical discomfort and irritation during exercise, physical activities (such as cycling or jogging), and sexual intercourse.
Reducing the size of the labia minora may be desirable to improve hygiene and health, as excess tissue can make cleaning difficult and may harbor bacteria that can lead to the development of urinary tract infections.
Cosmetic and emotional reasons
To have a younger appearance after birth or aging,
Reducing asymmetry of the labia minora or labia majora when one side is longer or has a different shape than the other,
