What's the cost for Obstetrics and Gynecology procedures in Turkey?

Obstetrics and gynecology costs in Turkey typically range from $4,600 to $11,700. Final prices depend on the specific procedure, hospital stay duration, and the clinic's level of international accreditation. Patients traveling from abroad can generally expect 70% savings compared to prices for identical treatments in the US.

Typical Obstetrics and Gynecology Costs in Turkey

  • Consultation with a gynecologist: $100 – $100
  • Female check-up: $200 – $300
  • Ultrasound: $100 – $100
  • Childbirth: $3,600 – $5,600
  • Hymenoplasty (hymen restoration): Price on request
  • Hysterectomy (uterus removal): $4,800 – $7,500
  • Myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids): $3,100 – $7,000
  • Pregnancy follow-up: $100 – $300
  • Ovarian cyst removal: $2,500 – $4,500
  • Uterine artery embolization: $3,800 – $6,800

Major medical centers are concentrated in Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya, and Izmir. While Istanbul and Ankara host the most JCI-accredited facilities, clinics in Izmir often provide highly competitive rates for international patients. Consult with a specialist to get accurate pricing for your specific medical needs.

Prof
Hi, I'm Cella, and I’m living in Bali, Indonesia. I’d like to share an honest review based on my experience of finding a medical coordinator, a doctor, and a hospital for my case. I was recently diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and stage 4 endometriosis, which required surgery as soon as possible. I was initially hospitalized in Bali, but the doctor there suggested I look for a better-equipped hospital as they didn’t have the necessary facilities to perform my surgery. It wasn’t easy to find the right care on a small island like Bali. Thankfully, my best friend helped me connect with a medical manager from Bookimed. That’s how we found Alisher, the medical manager and Prof. Dr. A Cem Iyibozkurt from Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul. We arranged an online consultation with the doctor, which was free of charge, I already have all my medical records and MRI results before an online consultation, I’ve prepared everything to speed up the process. and within a week, they scheduled my laparoscopic robotic surgery. Alisher did an excellent job coordinating everything, and I couldn’t be happier with him. Prof. Dr. Cem Iyibozkurt is an amazing doctor, highly experienced, and well-known for his expertise in the field. The hospital itself was fantastic—the nurses and staff took great care of me. I’m really grateful for the smooth process, and I highly recommend them to anyone who may be in a similar situation and looking for this kind of care and has similar situation as mine.

Thank you so much to the whole team for their clear, professional and heartfelt work!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul for the high professionalism, attentiveness and care shown at every stage of my treatment. I underwent hysteroscopic removal of several endometrial polyps, including one large one measuring 3 cm. Everything went perfectly - from the initial consultation to the surgery and post-operative care. Special thanks to my doctor - Op. Dr Berna Buse Kobal. She inspired confidence from the very beginning, explained everything calmly and clearly, acted very carefully and confidently. After the operation I felt great, without pain or discomfort. The nurses and all the staff of the clinic were very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere in the hospital is clean, modern, comfortable and absolutely safe. I would also like to thank Julia, a Bookimed employee, who helped me with counselling and organising the trip. We made the decision literally at the last moment: we were informed from Dushanbe in the evening, flew out at night, and already in the morning I was in the clinic. Everything was organised perfectly - meeting, hospitalisation, surgery on the same day, and in the evening I was already relaxing in the hotel and feeling great. Thank you so much to the whole team for their clear, professional and heartfelt work! 💐 I confidently recommend Hisar Hospital Intercontinental and Bookimed to all women who are looking for quality, fast and safe treatment abroad.

Everything was just as Olga (Bookimed) initially told me; I am grateful to her for helping with my issue. I am currently in the recovery process, and even post-intervention, she consistently checks in on me to see how I am doing. She is a very attentive and wonderful person. The airport-clinic transfer and return was conducted flawlessly at a VIP level. The staff at Lokman Hekim Clinic acted promptly and admitted me immediately. The interpreter was ideal, providing great emotional support. Dr. Elif Esra Uyar exceeded my expectations; she paid close attention to everything. I had a problem I had been putting off for several years, and she helped me resolve it, promising that I would become a mother within three months, which gives me immense hope. If I am unable to conceive on my own, she advised me to return to the clinic for assistance with treatment to fulfill my cherished dream. I will certainly return if needed!! Thank you, Bookimed, for the perfect and transparent organization. Thank you, Olga, for your support and utmost assistance!!!
What I liked most was that the staff at the clinic were attentive at all times and I was taken very good care of during the days I was admitted.
I have no complaints. Everything was fine.

It definitely deserves 10/10 not because of the facilities but because of the staff who run the place from the cleaning staff all the way to the doctors
From the start to finish, everything was perfect. I have used different clinics and hospitals in turkey but the service provided here and the care of the doctors has been the best. Aliser and Ayperi were both very caring and help with translation, Aliser was there helping with every need was very humble and caring nature. All the nurses and doctor main concern was the help and our comfort, one nurse who we thanked said no don't thank me it's my job. The doctors visited us everyday to check up and would care for all our needs, even the outpatient admin came to see if everything is ok then said she will speak to the nurses even though it wasn't her job. The airport transportation, pick up and drop off were punctual, room was spacious, clean and tidy. The room was cleaned multiple times a day and food was provided which was tasty considering its hospital. It definitely deserves 10/10 not because of the facilities but because of the staff who run the place from the cleaning staff all the way to the doctors.

I feel renewed
Successfully myomectomy Surgery My uterus, my decision: First of all, I am genuinely grateful to Prof Cem Iyibozkurt of Florence Nightingale Istanbul for saving my uterus, which doctors in the UK have declared damaged and useless and saying that the only option for me was a hysterectomy, and I was totally against it. I recently had a successful myomectomy at the end of March 2025, which removed 81 fibroids, and the largest fibroid was a size 21x20 cm. I was diagnosed with multiple fibroids in August 2023, which were in different locations. I had a protruded stomach, and I looked like 6 months pregnant. The fibroids also pressed on my pelvic nerves, causing my left leg to swell and causing excruciating pain. They were also pressing on my internal organs, causing my kidneys to swell, and I became incontinent because they were pressing on my bladder, and I could not empty the bladder. My menstrual blood was so heavy I had to request my employer to work remotely during my menstrual month as I needed to change pads regularly or change clothes in case they had overflowed. I researched and came across Prof Cem Iyibozkurt with the help of Bookemed medical coordinator Olha and medical coordinator Alisher, who arranged my first video consultation with Prof Cem Iyibozkurt. After a video consultation, I agreed on the date for my surgery, and then Olha and Alisher arranged all my appointments, hospital transportation, and airport pick-up. I am genuinely grateful that my surgery went successfully. I spent 3 days in the hospital. On the discharge day, I felt good and confident enough to walk and had less pain around the stomach area. Today is week 4, past surgery; my scar is healing beautifully and is invisible. You won't even know that I just had a myomectomy surgery. All the discomfort I used to have is gone. No more incontinence pads and my left leg no longer causes pain or gets swollen. I feel renewed. I would recommend Prof Cem Iyibozkurt and Florence Nightingale Istanbul Hospital to any woman looking for the best doctor and hospital for myomectomy surgery.
I liked all the arrangements from the first time I contacted the medical coordinators to the last day I returned to my home country. They were kind, good listeners and responded to my specific demands.
I cannot complain

I had a good experience with Bookemed. They really listened to me, as I was so demanding. They gave me choices of different hospitals, allowed me enough time to make a decision, and guided me when I was confused.

I liked the availability and competence of the teams. My operation went very well. What I didn't like was the fact that some of the post-operative tests were not included in the initial bill, the post-operative follow-up was not respected, and such an important appointment was missed... All in all, I'd highly recommend the service, as the expertise is...

About the Doctor - AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
I can leave only positive feedback about the clinic, because in our case, I can't pick on anything, even on purpose. We had a consultation and initial examination by a doctor. The impression of the clinic is VERY positive. About the Doctor - AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!. Thanks to him for his high qualification and competent attitude to the patient.
What I liked most of all was the high qualification of the doctor. I also liked the high qualification of the doctor and all the staff. The girl interpreter also conducted the whole reception in a perfectly competent manner. The transfer was provided on time. Perfect cleanliness in the whole clinic and sterile cleanliness in the offices. Facilities in the lobby and on the floors, in the waiting areas, coffee shops and Starbucks in the clinic. Respectful and friendly attitude to patients and accompanying people.

Everything was organized according to time, the translator was very helpful and translated everything
Everything was organized according to time, the translator was very helpful and translated everything. But! The prices for medical services differed significantly; the translator told me one amount, but in fact they charged more in a couple of minutes. The gynecologist also promised to comment on the tests that I took on different days, but no comment was forthcoming, nor was there a response by phone.

The difference in the quoted prices between the translator and the cashier. Plus ignoring the doctor to comment on the tests

I didn’t have the operation, you can just say I went to paid appointments. I did not like the fact that the doctor was not familiar with my examinations and analyzes, and before, if I had an MRI, they did an ultrasound scan. It's not clear why. At the same time, the ultrasound did not give the whole picture. Also, only on the spot when the doctor asked me to look at my tests and examinations, the translator tried to translate. Before arriving at the clinic, I discussed in advance what kind of operation I wanted, whether they would be able to do it. The answer was always YES, after arrival already at the reception, NO.

FAQ about Obstetrics and Gynecology in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Is it safe to have gynecological surgery in Turkey?

Gynecological surgery in Turkey is safe when performed at JCI-accredited facilities by board-certified specialists. Leading hospitals like Memorial Şişli Hospital and Anadolu Medical Center follow international safety protocols. These centers utilize advanced technologies like da Vinci XI robotic systems and laparoscopic techniques to reduce recovery times.

  • Accreditation standards: Turkey hosts over 30 JCI-accredited facilities, ensuring rigorous hygiene and patient safety.
  • Surgeon expertise: Surgeons like Dr. Alper Karalok at Liv Hospital Ulus have 15+ years experience.
  • Advanced technology: Clinics use MRgFUS and robotic surgery for uterine fibroids and complex oncology cases.
  • Recovery monitoring: Typical stays include 3 days in hospital and 1–2 weeks for total recovery.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Our data shows that top-rated clinics like Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital maintain a high patient volume, serving 300,000+ people annually. These high-capacity centers often offer integrated services like on-site genomic laboratories. This infrastructure allows surgeons to perform complex uterus-preserving surgeries that are sometimes unavailable in the UK or EU.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that having a dedicated coordinator and clear pre-operative video consultations made them feel secure. Many noted that recovery was faster than expected, particularly after robotic-assisted procedures for endometriosis or fibroids.

Why is Turkey a popular destination for gynecological and obstetric care?

Turkey excels in gynecological and obstetric care by combining JCI-accredited surgical standards with a specialist-led medical model. Patients access advanced robotic-assisted surgery and high-success IVF treatments without waiting lists. Leading hospitals in Istanbul and Ankara provide comprehensive care including diagnostics like 4D ultrasound and PET/CT.

  • Specialist-led care: Dedicated gynecologists manage the entire pregnancy journey including all ultrasounds.
  • Advanced technology: Facilities like Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital use AI-supported 3 Tesla MRI.
  • Surgical expertise: Surgeons like Prof. Dr. Cihat Sen have 45 years of perinatology experience.
  • Rapid access: Patients often book complex procedures like myomectomy or hysterectomy within days.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that high-volume centers like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental, serving 250,000+ patients annually, offer significant logistical advantages. These clinics integrate on-site diagnostic labs and international departments. This setup allows patients to complete preoperative screenings and surgery on the same day, minimizing expensive hotel stays.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that Turkish specialists often save the uterus in cases where other doctors recommended removal. They frequently praise the emotional support from dedicated translators and the comfort of VIP recovery suites.

What types of gynecological surgeries are commonly performed for international patients?

International patients in Turkey commonly undergo laparoscopic hysterectomies, myomectomies for fibroid removal, and ovarian cystectomy. Specialized centers also perform advanced endometriosis excision and genital aesthetic surgeries. These procedures utilize minimally invasive techniques like hysteroscopy and robotic surgery to ensure faster recovery and minimal scarring.

  • Hysterectomy: Performed for adenomyosis or tumors using laparoscopic or robotic-assisted methods.
  • Myomectomy: Removes uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus for future fertility.
  • Endometriosis surgery: Includes specialized excision or ablation for stage 4 cases and cysts.
  • Genital aesthetics: Popular procedures include labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, and functional hymen restoration surgery.
  • Fertility procedures: High demand for IVF, ovarian rejuvenation (PRP), and preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows a trend where patients choose Turkey for organ-preserving surgeries. While UK or EU doctors may suggest a hysterectomy for large fibroids, Turkish professors often specialize in complex myomectomies. Prof. Dr. Semra Kahraman and other specialists frequently remove 50+ fibroids in a single session to save the uterus.

Patient Consensus: Patients often travel to resolve issues like heavy bleeding or pain that were dismissed elsewhere. They appreciate that Turkish hospitals coordinate everything from VIP airport transfers to immediate surgical scheduling within 1 week of an online consult.

How are high-risk pregnancies handled in Turkish clinics?

High-risk pregnancies in Turkey are managed by perinatologists using a specialist-led model. These maternal-fetal medicine experts handle early screenings, 4D ultrasounds, and invasive diagnostics like amniocentesis. Hospitals provide immediate access to neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and multidisciplinary teams for complex cases.

  • Specialist expertise: Perinatologists like Dr. Cihat Sen manage complex fetal and maternal conditions.
  • Monitoring frequency: High-risk cases often require scans every 1 to 2 weeks for safety.
  • Advanced diagnostics: Clinics use 4D ultrasound and fetal echocardiography to detect anomalies early.
  • Tertiary care: Facilities like Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital offer advanced NICUs for newborns.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that clinics with high international volumes, such as Hisar Hospital Intercontinental with 250,000+ annual patients, often provide the most seamless multidisciplinary care. These centers integrate endocrinologists and cardiologists into the pregnancy plan immediately. This structural efficiency is vital for managing gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia effectively.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that doctors are very direct about protocols and recommend requesting an English-speaking physician early. They also emphasize planning for a longer stay, as monitoring often becomes more intensive in the final weeks.

What fertility treatments are available?

Fertility treatments in Turkey include advanced assisted reproductive technologies, surgical interventions, and medications. Leading centers offer In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), and ovarian rejuvenation. Specialist doctors provide personalized protocols using preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and robotic surgery to improve successful pregnancy outcomes.

  • Assisted reproduction: IVF and ICSI handle fertilization in specialized on-site embryology laboratories.
  • Fertility preservation: Cryopreservation services allow for the long-term freezing of eggs, sperm, or embryos.
  • Surgical correction: Minimally invasive laparoscopy and hysteroscopy remove fibroids or repair blocked fallopian tubes.
  • Advanced therapies: PRP ovarian rejuvenation and bioidentical hormone therapy support patients with low ovarian reserve.

Bookimed Expert Insight: High-volume centers like Memorial Şişli Hospital and Hisar Hospital Intercontinental operate their own genetic and embryology labs. This integration allows for faster embryo screening and higher precision during ICSI. It also reduces the need for external couriers, which helps maintain lower overall treatment costs.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that some doctors, like Dr. Elif Esra Uyar, provide deep emotional support alongside medical care. Many emphasize the importance of having a free initial online consultation to review medical records before traveling.

What certifications assure international patients of the safety and qualifications of Turkish obstetrics and gynecology surgeons?

International patients are protected by mandatory Turkish Ministry of Health certifications and rigorous global accreditations. Surgeons must hold a Specialization Certificate and registration with the Turkish Medical Association (TTB). Facilities like Anadolu Medical Center or Memorial Şişli Hospital maintain Joint Commission International (JCI) gold-standard safety status.

  • Institutional safety: JCI accreditation ensures hospitals meet 1,200 global clinical care and hygiene standards.
  • Surgeon licensing: All specialists must possess a Ministry of Health diploma and active TTB registration.
  • International boards: Top experts often hold European Board of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBOG) certifications.
  • Government oversight: Legal clinics must hold an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate for patient protection.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Our data shows a strong correlation between JCI-accredited facilities and high success rates in complex surgeries. For example, Memorial Şişli Hospital was the first in Turkey to earn JCI status. This institutional rigour supports specialists like Prof. Semra Kahraman in pioneering advanced procedures like PGD and microinjection. Smaller clinics with 4.9 ratings often focus on specialized niches like cosmetic gynecology or IVF.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that while certificates are vital, the quality of translation and personal coordination makes the biggest difference. Many note that video consultations help confirm a surgeon's expertise before traveling for major procedures like myomectomy or hysterectomy.

Do the medical teams speak English?

Turkish medical teams in leading private hospitals are highly proficient in English. Most lead surgeons at JCI-accredited facilities such as Anadolu Medical Center and Memorial Şişli Hospital are fluent. These centers specifically cater to international patients. Professional interpreters are provided to assist with administrative and support staff communication.

  • Doctor proficiency: Many specialists, including Dr. Özgür Ağlamış, hold international certifications and memberships.
  • Language support: Clinics like Anadolu Medical Center provide dedicated personal coordinators and interpreters.
  • Hospital standards: JCI-accredited facilities in Istanbul prioritize English-speaking staff for patient safety.
  • Support services: Multilingual teams at Memorial Şişli Hospital serve patients from over 167 countries.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that hospitals with over 250,000 annual patients often have the most robust translation departments. Facilities like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental or Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital integrate interpreters directly into the clinical workflow. This ensures that even if a night nurse has limited English, a professional translator is available to bridge the gap during recovery.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that while major surgeons speak excellent English, it is helpful to have a translation app ready for quick interactions with support staff. Most say the care is so attentive that small language gaps do not hinder the overall experience.

What are the principal medical risks and long-term side effects associated with gynecologic laparoscopy or hysteroscopic procedures performed in Turkey?

Gynecologic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in Turkey are generally safe with complication rates between 0.69% and 6.22%. Principal risks include uterine perforation, organ injury, and fluid imbalance. Long-term side effects may involve adhesions or intrauterine scarring. JCI-accredited hospitals in Istanbul mitigate these risks with advanced technology.

  • Intraoperative risks: Uterine perforation occurs in 0.8–1.5% of hysteroscopy cases, potentially damaging nearby organs.
  • Laparoscopic complications: Minor risks of bowel (0.36%) or bladder (0.7%) injury exist during trocar insertion.
  • Long-term effects: Abdominal adhesions can cause chronic pelvic pain or rare bowel obstructions years later.
  • Vascular safety: Major vessel injury is rare, occurring in only 0.04–0.5% of laparoscopic procedures.
  • Infection control: JCI-accredited centers like Anadolu Medical Center use modern aseptic techniques to prevent peritonitis.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Our data shows a correlation between surgical volume and recovery speed. Clinics like Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital and Hisar Hospital Intercontinental perform over 250,000 procedures annually. High-volume centers often transition patients from hysteroscopy to same-day discharge. This efficiency reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infections compared to lower-volume facilities.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize the need to delay return flights by at least 7 days to avoid blood clots. Many suggest budgeting for local follow-up scans once home to ensure no undetected issues like cysts remain.

How long should I plan to stay in Turkey for treatment?

Patients should plan to stay in Turkey for 7 to 21 days for gynecological treatments. Minor procedures like hysteroscopy require 3 to 5 days. Complex surgeries, including myomectomy or hysterectomy, typically necessitate 10 to 14 days. These timelines ensure proper pre-operative diagnostics and safe post-surgical monitoring.

  • Diagnostic phase: Allocate 3 to 7 days for consultations, ultrasounds, and specialized blood tests.
  • Surgical recovery: Plan for 7 to 10 days for fibroid removal or uterus removal.
  • Fertility treatments: Schedule 10 to 14 days for monitoring, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer.
  • Advanced cases: Reserve up to 21 days for complex endometriosis or robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgeries.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from high-volume centers like Anadolu Medical Center and Memorial Şişli Hospital shows a trend toward faster discharge. Patients undergoing robotic surgery often leave the hospital within 48 hours. However, those staying in nearby hotels for an extra 4 days report smoother final check-ups before flying. Volume-heavy clinics frequently bundle these local stays into comprehensive care packages.

Patient Consensus: Patients suggest packing for at least 14 days even if a shorter trip is quoted. They emphasize that recovery feels much easier when staying in a hotel close to the hospital.
