Frequently Asked Questions

If you are not sure which branch your complaint belongs to, you can ask for guidance from the advisory team by giving a brief preliminary information. Internal medicine is often one of the first appropriate reference points for complaints involving more than one system in adults.

Bringing your identity document, a list of medications you use regularly, and previous tests, x-rays, ultrasound, MRI/CT, eye or dental imaging, if any, will make the evaluation easier.

Hunger is often not required for general examination. However, fasting may be desirable if blood analysis, abdominal ultrasonography or certain procedures are planned. It is important that you indicate the action to be taken when creating an appointment.

Eligibility varies according to the intensity of the relevant branch, laboratory and imaging unit. The tests required during the inspection are planned with the most appropriate timing possible.

In the general health evaluation, the internal medicine physician can plan the necessary tests according to age, personal risks, family history and current complaints. Ready-made packages may not meet the same requirement for each person.

Yes, it does not always mean that a single laboratory value is outside the reference range; the results should be evaluated by the physician together with complaints, examination, drugs used and other tests.

Yes. You can get a second opinion with your current report and images for a previous diagnosis or recommended treatment. Additional examination or testing may be requested if necessary.

Specifying your preferred language when creating an appointment helps to plan appropriate communication support.

Candidacy for dental implants depends upon alveolar bone volume, periodontal health, systemic medical conditions, medication regimens, and smoking status. Definite eligibility is determined following radiographic examination.

CBCT provides high-resolution 3D volumetric images that reveal bone width, height, and adjacent vital structures like mandibular nerve canals and maxillary sinuses. It is indicated based on individual clinical need.

Bone deficiency does not preclude implant treatment. For suitable patients, guided bone regeneration (grafting) or sinus lifts can be evaluated following thorough diagnostic imaging.

The timeline depends on the number of implants, initial bone quality, requirement for bone grafting, and individual osseointegration rates. The surgical and prosthetic phases are uniquely scheduled.

Zirconia restorations represent excellent solutions for severe discoloration, morphological flaws, extensive structural loss, or replacement of aged prostheses, provided sound tooth structure and occlusion are verified.

When administered under dentist supervision using certified clinical agents and protocols, whitening is safe and controlled. Mild transient sensitivity may occur; active caries or gum diseases must be treated beforehand.

Mild transient discomfort is normal immediately following endodontic treatment. However, persistent, throbbing pain, localized swelling, or bite pain warrants prompt dental reassessment.

No. Fully erupted, healthy, and functional wisdom teeth that can be adequately cleaned do not require routine removal. Extraction is indicated in cases of pericoronitis, impaction, crowding pressure, or caries.

Yes. As long as the periodontium (teeth and surrounding bone/gums) is healthy, orthodontic tooth movement can be performed at any age. The choice of appliance depends on the specific malocclusion.

Neither is universally superior; each has distinct mechanical indications. Clear aligners offer aesthetic and hygiene convenience, whereas fixed brackets manage complex skeletal or rotational discrepancies efficiently.

Orthodontic retention is essential to stabilize tooth alignment within remodeling bone. Failing to wear prescribed retainers regularly will result in orthodontic relapse over time.

Informing our clinical team of your anxiety in advance allows us to adapt your care. We explain each step thoroughly, employ advanced painless anesthesia, and pace the appointment comfortably.

No. A comprehensive ophthalmic examination evaluates corneal health, anterior chamber depth, intraocular pressure (glaucoma screening), crystalline lens status, and peripheral retinal integrity.

Hazy or blurred vision, light glare/halos around headlights, difficulty seeing at night, faded perception of colors, and frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions often indicate cataracts.

The presence of a cataract alone does not dictate immediate surgery. The primary criteria include the degree to which diminished vision interferes with driving, reading, and daily occupational safety.

Glaucoma is largely asymptomatic in its early to moderate stages, earning the name "silent thief of sight." Regular tonometry screening and optic nerve examinations are crucial for early detection.

No. Sudden loss of visual acuity, a shadow or "curtain" descending over sight, sudden showers of floaters/flashes, or severe acute ocular pain requires emergency medical intervention without delay.

Screening intervals vary based on age, reproductive history, prior cytology (Pap smears), and clinical symptoms. An annual check-up schedule should be personalized with your gynecologist.

As soon as a pregnancy test is positive or a missed period occurs, an initial consultation should be planned to verify intrauterine pregnancy and gestational age. Subsequent visit intervals are established based on maternal-fetal health.

Not necessarily. Acute emotional stress, rapid weight fluctuations, thyroid pathology, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine polyps, or early pregnancy can all affect cycle regularity. Consultation is advised for recurring irregularities.

Pap smears screen for cellular atypia and pre-cancerous dysplasia of the uterine cervix. Age-appropriate initiation and intervals adhere to clinical oncology and gynecological society guidelines.

Diagnostic obstetric ultrasonography relies on high-frequency sound waves, utilizing zero ionizing radiation. It is internationally recognized as safe when medically indicated by qualified obstetricians.

Not all gallstones warrant surgery. Asymptomatic silent stones can often be monitored; surgical management is indicated when recurrent biliary colic, inflammation (cholecystitis), or pancreatitis risk arises.

In adult anatomy, structural fascial defects do not close spontaneously. Hernias are assessed for surgical repair based on enlargement, pain, and the risk of acute bowel incarceration or strangulation.

No. Depending on clinical stage and symptoms, dietary fiber optimization, topical venotonics, or office-based non-excisional interventions may suffice before surgical excision is contemplated.

Laparoscopic surgery utilizes slender trocars, miniature cameras, and specialized precision instruments introduced through tiny keyhole incisions, minimizing post-operative pain and accelerating recovery where indicated.

Generally no. Isolated elevations can be triggered by anxiety (white-coat effect) or physical exertion. Serial measurements on multiple occasions, ambulatory 24-hour monitoring, or home tracking confirm diagnosis.

The etiology of lethargy varies widely. After clinical consultation, complete blood counts, thyroid panels (TSH), glycemic indices, ferritin, Vitamin D, and B12 levels are tailored to individual clinical suspicion.

Patient age is paramount. In infants under 3 months, or when accompanied by tachypnea, grunting, extreme lethargy, febrile seizures, cyanosis, poor oral fluid intake, or altered responsiveness, emergency care is vital.

A pediatrician should evaluate first to screen for organic medical etiologies, anemia, or growth faltering. Once medical concerns are managed, a clinical dietitian can construct balanced mealtime strategies.

Not all blood assays necessitate fasting. Where required (fasting glucose, lipids), 8 to 12 hours is typical. Please adhere to the specific pre-analytical instructions provided by our laboratory.

For the majority of routine fasting blood profiles, drinking moderate amounts of plain water is permitted and even helpful for venipuncture. Confirm with laboratory staff for specialized assays.

Upper abdominal scans (gallbladder, liver, pancreas) usually require 6 to 8 hours of fasting. Lower pelvic ultrasound often necessitates a comfortably distended urinary bladder (drinking water).

Yes, absolutely. Conventional X-rays utilize ionizing radiation; any confirmed or suspected pregnancy must be declared to our radiologic technologist prior to exposure to utilize protective shielding or alternatives.

No. Medical nutrition therapy strictly requires personalized planning, factoring in individual basal metabolic rates, comorbidities, active medications, occupational schedules, and bioimpedance data.

Severely restrictive diets lead to lean muscle wasting, metabolic slowdown, and rapid weight rebound (yo-yo effect). Sustainable fat loss is achieved through medically balanced macronutrient distribution.

Yes. Facial anatomy, dermal elasticity, past medical interventions, and active medications must be clinically reviewed to formulate a tailored, safe aesthetic protocol.

Yes. Dermal hydration, collagen density, age, metabolic rate, and facial kinetics all influence aesthetic results and longevity; hence, guaranteed durations are clinically unfeasible.

This depends on the procedure performed. Non-invasive treatments involve minimal downtime, while minor edema or erythema may require short recovery precautions guided by your physician.
