What are the popular medical tourism procedures available in Turkey?
Medical tourism has become very popular in Turkey due to the comprehensive range of medical services it offers to patients across the globe. Turkey has pioneered in several critical and non-critical treatments. Those who have received treatment in the country speak highly of its medical standards and facilities which have resulted in the growing popularity of Turkey as a favored destination for medical tourism.
Listed below are some of the popular medical procedures available with the Turkish medical institutions and healthcare units:
Ocular surgery- Patients who wear glasses or contact lenses can opt for LASIK surgery to restore normal vision. Turkish hospitals have full provisions for conducting such sensitive surgeries supported by modern medical equipments and an experienced staff team. The hospitals constantly reach out to patients and help them reduce their dependency on glasses enabling them to live a more normal life.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) - Couples unable to deliver a child greatly benefit from this procedure. IVF is a medical process in which egg cells are fertilized outside the woman's body. Female patients undergo treatment with drugs to increase the fertility of the eggs which is retrieved from the ovary through a special needle. After proper laboratory pre-conditioning, the eggs are fertilized with sperms and injected back into the uterus.
Dentistry- From general dentistry to cosmetic procedures or critical implants, the dental clinics and hospitals in Turkey provide the best medical care to patients with dental problems. These clinics regularly perform procedures like root canal treatment, teeth whitening, fillings and other minor surgical procedures. Patients are given a fairly good idea of what to expect from a dental procedure before they finally opt for it.
Cosmetic surgery- The Turkish hospitals are well equipped to undertake a variety of plastic and cosmetic surgery cases like eyelid surgery, a nasal reconstruction, facelift, liposuction or breast augmentation, to name a few.
Acupuncture- This is an ancient medical procedure in which needles are inserted into specific points on the body to provide relief to patients from pain with other therapeutic values. Believed to have originated in China, this procedure is aimed at providing relief to patients who opt for alternative ways of treatment.
Baleneotherapy- Baleneotherapy is a form of medical procedure in which the patients are bathed in hot water blended with a special mix of herbs, minerals and enzymes. This process is believed to provide relief from pain. Apart from that, it also helps to improve blood circulation, stimulate body activity, and provide a relaxing effect. Baleneotherapy also increases the body's ability to recuperate from illnesses and provide faster healing.
All these facilities and procedures are readily available at the hospitals of the country and are performed by expert doctors and physicians.
