About the clinic

A semen analysis (spermiogram) at UCARER Women’s Health in Istanbul, Turkey, evaluates male fertility by checking sperm health and quantity. The test typically runs around $110 and uses World Health Organization (WHO) criteria to ensure standardized results. This diagnostic is a primary step for couples, as male factors contribute to half of all infertility cases.

Diagnostic Details

The spermiogram is a non-invasive laboratory test performed on-site. The clinic analyzes the sample to provide data on several factors:

  • Sperm concentration. Measures the number of sperm present per milliliter of semen.
  • Motility. Checks the percentage of sperm moving correctly to reach an egg.
  • Morphology. Examines the size and shape of the sperm cells.
  • Volume and pH. Assesses the total amount of fluid and its acidity levels.
  • Total sperm count. Calculates the overall number of sperm in the entire sample.

Preparation and Results

Specific preparation helps ensure the sample reflects true fertility status. Patients should follow these guidelines before the examination:

  • Maintain sexual abstinence for 2 to 5 days before providing the sample.
  • Avoid alcohol, hot baths, and saunas in the days leading up to the test.
  • Postpone testing if experiencing a fever, significant stress, or taking antibiotics.
  • Consider a repeat test after 2 to 3 months, as a single sample may vary.

Specialist Interpretation

Dr. Muzaffer Uçarer evaluates the findings within the context of the couple's reproductive history. He is an Assistant Professor specializing in IVF and reproductive medicine. Dr. Uçarer is a member of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). His expertise focuses on recurrent IVF failure and complex fertility cases.

UCARER Women’s Health: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Istanbul

UCARER Women's Health is a boutique clinic in Istanbul. It focuses on reproductive medicine and gynecological care. Patients work with the same specialist team throughout treatment. Located in Başakşehir, the clinic serves those seeking fertility solutions, advanced gynecological surgery, and genital aesthetics.

Accreditations and Clinical Experience

The clinic has over 30 years of clinical experience in women's health. It has treated more than 1,600 patients using evidence-based protocols. UCARER holds official authorization from the Turkish Ministry of Health for international health tourism, so it meets specific standards for treating patients from abroad.

The medical team maintains several professional affiliations:

  • Collaboration with Acıbadem, a JCI-accredited hospital group, for surgical procedures
  • Membership in the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)
  • Membership in the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
  • Affiliation with the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART)

These memberships mean specialists follow current international guidelines in embryology and fertility care.

IVF and Reproductive Medicine

Assist. Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Uçarer leads the reproductive medicine department. He focuses on recurrent IVF failure. The clinic uses embryo cryopreservation through vitrification, a fast-freezing method. This results in post-thaw survival rates of 95% or higher for high-quality embryos.

Patients have access to several specialized fertility services:

  • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for male factor infertility
  • Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A, PGT-M) to screen embryos for chromosomal issues
  • Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA) to determine the best timing for embryo transfer
  • In Vitro Maturation (IVM) for cases where traditional stimulation is not suitable
  • Ovarian rejuvenation options including PRP and exosome therapy

Fertility diagnostics include thorough check-ups with antral follicle counts and semen analysis for partners.

Gynecology and Specialized Surgery

The surgical team treats endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts. Surgeons prioritize laparoscopic and vaginal approaches to reduce recovery times. Laparoscopic cyst removal typically allows patients to return home within 24 hours. Full recovery usually takes two to four weeks.

The clinic offers surgical options for uterine health:

  • Hysteroscopic polypectomy to remove polyps using a small camera
  • Myomectomy for fibroid removal while preserving the uterus
  • Hysterectomy via laparoscopic, vaginal, or open techniques
  • Urogynecological surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence

Dr. Meryem Uçarer specializes in genital aesthetics. Services include labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, and non-surgical treatments like hyaluronic acid fillers and PRP-based rejuvenation.

Technology and Diagnostic Equipment

The embryology lab uses Embryoscope technology for time-lapse embryo monitoring. This lets specialists observe embryo development continuously without removing them from controlled conditions. Diagnostic tools include pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound for real-time visualization.

Hysteroscopy serves as a diagnostic tool. This camera-based approach lets doctors examine the inside of the uterus directly.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers dedicated support for patients traveling to Istanbul. A multilingual team assists throughout the process. Support is available in English, German, French, Arabic, Russian, and Persian. Patients can book secure online video consultations with Assist. Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Uçarer before traveling.

International care services include:

  • Assistance with travel planning and arrival logistics
  • Remote follow-up consultations after returning home
  • Coordination with local doctors for continued monitoring
  • Multilingual team support for ongoing medical questions

IVF treatment packages are structured to be inclusive. They often cover the procedure, anesthesia, and necessary monitoring visits.
