Health tourism

Health tourism is a rapidly rising trend in the world and in our country in recent years and is a very important type of alternative tourism.

Health tourism:

It is the act of traveling to a country other than one's country of residence for treatment purposes, for any reason, in order to regain one's health.
Those who go for treatment purposes are called health tourists.
Health tourism should not be considered as a type of tourism that only goes to hospitals for treatment.
Although any type of tourism that offers a healthy life should be considered health tourism, health tourism is evaluated under 3 main headings.

1. Medical Tourism (treatment and surgery in hospitals, etc.)

2. Thermal Tourism (services such as rehabilitation and recreation in Thermal Facilities)

3. Elderly and Disabled Tourism (Long-term stays with social activities in a geriatric treatment center or plateaus)

The main reasons for health tourism:

1. Lack or absence of high-tech health services and professional human resources in the country,

2. Desire to take a vacation along with treatment,

3. Health services are expensive in their own country,

4. Wanting to receive much higher quality health care,

5. He does not want his surgery to be known in his own country for any reason (Aesthetic Surgery, Infertility treatment, etc.).

6. Tourism mobility in cases where there are limited opportunities for a holiday in terms of climate and geography in the country (going to forests, plateaus, countries with historical and cultural richness), the demand for a holiday in a country where there are mostly thermal facilities and Thermal Tourism opportunities.

7. The desire of chronically ill, elderly and disabled people to go to other environments and receive treatment,

8. The desire of people with drug and other addictions to be in different or more suitable environments,

9. The person's desire to hold on to life and live.

As a result, health tourism is very diverse and includes many reasons. The main reason is tourism, which is done to regain health in a different country with better opportunities, and it is a rapidly rising sector.

Arthroplasty deals with joint diseases. It gives the joint a painless range of motion by replacing joints that have undergone arthritic changes, usually with age or as a result of trauma, with prostatic parts (artificial, made of steel titanium alloys).
If medication, physical therapy, and walkers do not relieve your pain, improve your quality of life, or help you sleep comfortably at night, joint replacement surgery may be planned. The most common joint replacement surgery is knee replacement. If there is serious damage to your joints due to trauma or arthritis, simple daily activities such as walking and climbing stairs may become difficult for you.

HAIR TRANSPLANTATION PROCESS

Hair transplantation is one of the most popular methods for people whose hair falls out during the transplantation process to get rid of this problem. It is certain that hair transplantation will save people from this problem, but hair transplantation cannot be applied to everyone.
Before hair transplantation, some tests and applications must be performed. Under normal conditions, between twenty-five and a hundred strands of hair are shed per day. This is a natural process. If more than this range is shed, baldness may occur. Before hair transplantation, blood tests should be performed on the person. Before the operation, it should be investigated whether the drugs to be used in the operation will cause allergies in the person.
In addition, it should be investigated whether the person to be transplanted has diseases such as heart and kidney failure, diabetes and cancer. These procedures are not performed on people with problems like this.
With the advancement of technology, science and medicine, hair transplantation procedures have become easier. Even in people who do not have any hair, it is taken from various parts of the body and placed on the scalp.
In order for hair transplantation to be healthier, it should be done at appropriate times. The most important thing is that the person feels ready psychologically and financially. In some transition months, people's hair loss may decrease or increase. The action should be taken taking this situation into consideration.
Some doctors prefer autumn and winter months to avoid sun exposure after the transplantation procedure. Timing is very important for the hair transplantation to yield positive results. Since the rate of hair loss will increase between the ages of twenty and thirty, procedures performed after these ages are permanent.
The process of systematically checking the person who wants to have a hair transplant by going to a specialist is called hair examination. The person's hair strand, hair color, hair loss, hair type, whether the hair is thin or thick are examined and a treatment and transplantation method is determined accordingly.
Then, the area where the hair will be transplanted and the area where the hair will be taken are checked and analyzed. In order for the hair transplantation process to continue and be completed in a healthy way, the analysis made before the hair transplantation is very important. First, the characteristics, density and health of the hair found are checked.
Then, the scalp is examined. Plans are made regarding the size of the transplantation area and the number of hair follicles to be taken.

Who Can Have Hair Transplantation?

Baldness is among men's nightmares. Men who lose their hair may find themselves ugly and may experience psychological problems. The easiest way to get rid of these problems is to have a hair transplant. However, hair transplantation is not possible for everyone. In order for this procedure to be performed, the person must be biologically ready.
The age limit for hair transplantation worldwide is twenty-two. Hair transplantation is not performed on people under the age of twenty-two. These people are usually given medications that nourish the hair follicles and restore vitality to the hair. Hair transplantation is applied to people who do not have a serious illness and have male pattern hair loss.
These serious conditions include patients undergoing cancer treatment. If cancer treatment is completed and the doctor deems it appropriate, hair transplantation is performed.

SUITABLE TIME FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT

With the advancement of technology, science and medicine, hair transplantation procedures have become easier. Even in people who do not have any hair, it is taken from various parts of the body and placed on the scalp.
In order for hair transplantation to be healthier, it should be done at appropriate times. The most important thing is that the person feels ready psychologically and financially. In some transition months, people's hair loss may decrease or increase. The action should be taken taking this situation into consideration.
Some doctors prefer autumn and winter months to avoid sun exposure after the transplantation procedure. Timing is very important for the hair transplantation to yield positive results. Since the rate of hair loss will increase between the ages of twenty and thirty, procedures performed after these ages are permanent.

CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS

Hair loss may occur in people due to stress, distress, psychological problems, and feverish diseases. Additionally, especially in men, hair loss occurs due to genetic predisposition and excess weight. Women may experience hair loss problems due to hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding, side effects of the medications they use, and psychological problems they experience.
In our society, people use some herbal remedies against hair loss. These drugs, used unconsciously, also cause side effects and cause hair loss. In addition, chemical substances such as gels, hair sprays and brilliantine used to beautify, keep your hair shiny and tidy, and shape your hair also cause hair loss.
Another reason is due to not eating enough and balanced diet and not getting enough protein. To get rid of this negative situation, people benefit from hair transplantation methods.

WHAT IS HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?

People who lose their hair for various reasons use various methods to regain their hair. While some people buy herbal products sold in herbalists and apply them to their hair, others use hair care products and shampoos.
People who want to regain their hair may experience more hair loss due to these unconscious processes. What people who have baldness problems need to do to get rid of this negative situation is to get help from someone who is an expert on this subject. He should go to a doctor who is an expert in this field and find out what precautions he should take to eliminate the baldness problem. If necessary, he should have a hair transplant operation.
Hair transplantation is the process of transferring hair from areas where hair is dense and genetically non-shedding to areas where hair does not grow.
After the examination and analysis, the hair transplantation method is determined according to the person's hair type and scalp. The same method does not apply to everyone. These methods are FUE method and FUT methods.
In the FUT method, which is short for Follicular Unit Translation, hair follicles are taken in the form of strips from the scalp between the two ears and placed on the balding skin. Before the placement process, each hair follicle is separated under a microscope and made ready for transplantation. Since hair follicles are removed in strips from the scalp, a thin line of scar remains on the removed area.
In the FUE method, hair follicles are removed one by one using a special tool. In this way, scarring is prevented where the hair follicle is removed.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAIR TRANSPLANT METHODS

There are two types of hair transplantation methods. One of these is the FUT method and the other is the FUE method. Surgical operation is required in the FUT method. A thin strip, fifteen to twenty cm long and 2 cm wide, is taken from the scalp between the two ears using a scalpel, and placed on the balding skin after examining it one by one with a microscope.
In the Fue method, there is no scar because the scalp is not cut, but in the Fut method, there is a scar because the scalp is cut using a scalpel. While the hair taken with the Fut method is lost during separation, all of the hair taken with the Fue method can be transplanted.
In the Fut method, numbness occurs because the surgical procedure is performed and the recovery period is fifteen to twenty days, while in the Fue method the recovery period is seven days.

What is baldness?

Baldness is the name given to hair loss or hair reduction in humans. Although it is usually on the upper part of our head, it is occasionally seen on the side parts of our head. Baldness, which is one of the biggest problems of men today, is a disease that can be cured. It is possible to treat it with methods that have been scientifically proven many times before. However, people need to be careful about people who use this disease to peddle hope.

What causes baldness?

There may be many reasons why a person experiences baldness. The main reasons for this are; Stress, medications used, cosmic products harmful to hair (jelly, etc.), iron, protein and zinc deficiencies, febrile diseases, genetics, anemia are the main causes of the popular disease of our time. It is possible to treat this disease, which is based on stress with a 75% probability, regardless of the reason.

What is hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation is the process of removing hair from the body and placing it in another body area. In this respect, hair transplantation can be compared to organ transplantation. Since balding or lack of hair anywhere is not of vital importance, transplantation is performed only from the person himself. A hair follicle can be transplanted from another person. However, this method is not very useful since the medications the patient will use in the period after this procedure will have serious side effects.

Hair transplantation techniques?

Hair transplantation is performed in two different ways in Turkey. These are the "Strip method" and "Original hair follicle removal (FUE)" techniques. The method commonly used in our country is the strip method. FUE (originally hair follicle removal technique) is not performed in our country except for 1 or 2 clinics. Thanks to these two common methods, thousands of people have managed to get rid of this disease every year.

WHAT IS THE STRIP METHOD?

In the strip system, which is the most used system in our country, a 1-2 cm x 15-20 cm strip of skin is removed from between the two ears. The system takes its name from this process. This removed piece is divided into small pieces containing 1-7 (even though it is called 1-2 roots) hair follicles. These prepared pieces (graft) are placed in the holes drilled in the bald area with the help of a 1-3 mm razor blade or similar tool.

FUE (SPECIFICALLY REMOVING HAIR ROOT)

The original hair follicle removal technique is not very common in our country. This system is not used in our country except for a few clinics. In FUE, 1 or 2 hair follicles are removed with thin tube-shaped tools of 0.6-07 mm (these numbers are very important; if the injury to any part of the body is below 1 mm, it does not leave a scar), 1 or 2 hair follicles are removed without cutting the skin with sharp tools of the same thickness. li is planted. Since the hair follicles are removed one by one, they can be removed from any part of the body, although the nape is generally used.

What should you consider before having a hair transplant?

Patients suffering from baldness in our country must thoroughly research the clinics and hair transplantation centers where they intend to receive treatment before receiving treatment. While doing this research, they should talk to patients who have had this procedure done there before and collect detailed information about the operation with the specialist who will perform the operation. There are many centers in our country where these operations are performed in a very unsanitary manner and end up disappointing their patients. It is necessary to be sensitive about this issue for the sake of the patient.

Who can have hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a bee-free treatment method that has proven itself all over the world. The person who underwent this operation will soon can return to his/her daily life. Hair transplantation can generally be performed on anyone experiencing male pattern baldness. There is no strict age or gender limitation in this regard. But considering the general social characteristics and various habits, hair transplantationWe can see that it is mostly done to men. Especially during a certain period, even men are less comfortable with hair transplantation. Considering how we look at it, we can say that this prejudice has clearly been destroyed today.

Why are people prejudiced against hair transplantation?

The main reason why people in our country are prejudiced against hair transplantation is that hair transplantation is superior to all other alternative methods. There is no more active and proven method against baldness. In this case, some medicine and shampoo It may cause sellers to create a smear campaign against hair transplantation. For such reasons, for a long time It would not be wrong to say that there has been a serious smear campaign against hair transplantation throughout history.

What to do after deciding to have a hair transplant

It is recommended that people who decide to undergo hair transplantation take a photo so that they can follow it day by day.
You will be seriously pleased with the change when you compare it with your photo two weeks after the job is completed.
Hair transplantation is the most recommended treatment method, especially for people who are not satisfied with the psychological changes caused by baldness.
These developments you experience help you become stronger psychologically.

Metabolic Surgery

METABOLIC SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR DIABETES

"Diabetes Surgery", which has been featured in both print and visual media lately, has its equivalent in medical practices. Diabetes Surgery, which emerged due to easier understanding by our people and some personal concerns, is handled within the scope of Metabolic Surgery practices in the medical world.
The emergence of these surgeries originates from obesity surgeries such as DS (Duadenal Switch) and BPD (Biliopancreatic Diversion), in which a very important part of the small intestines is disabled by blocking the entrance of food.
The most important difference of Metabolic Surgery from obesity surgeries is that the small intestines are not deactivated by bypassing, but its mechanism is based on the principles of utilizing hormonal changes through a transposition/interposition process. Another difference is that Metabolic Surgery applications can change this hormonal pattern, independent of weight loss, and thus have positive effects on blood sugar control in type 2 diabetic patients who do not have serious weight problems. For this purpose, there are two basic metabolic surgery applications applied in clinical practice. The first of these is Ileal Interposition (IT) and the second is Transit Bipartition (TB) surgery.
