Prof. M.D. Nida Bayık

A 42-year-old Kurdish textile artist, previously told she was infertile due to severe endometriosis, presented with irregular bleeding. Dr. Bayık discovered an early-stage pregnancy during diagnostic laparoscopy. She managed the high-risk pregnancy with meticulous progesterone support and close monitoring, delivering a healthy baby girl at 36 weeks via planned C-section, the patient's first child after 15 years of trying.

A 19-year-old university student from a conservative family presented with acute pelvic pain. Dr. Bayık diagnosed a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The patient, terrified of her family's reaction, confided she was secretly married. Dr. Bayık performed emergency surgery while discreetly arranging counseling and mediating a family conversation post-recovery, preserving both the patient's health and family relationships.

A 58-year-old retired ship captain presented with postmenopausal bleeding. Investigation revealed complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia. Dr. Bayık performed a robotic-assisted hysterectomy, discovering early-stage endometrial cancer. The patient, who had no immediate family, recovered alone but Dr. Bayık arranged weekly check-in calls with hospital social services during his 6-week recovery.

A 34-year-old Syrian refugee with female genital mutilation (Type III) presented in her third trimester. Dr. Bayık carefully performed defibulation under spinal anesthesia at 34 weeks, then managed a complex vaginal delivery at term with her cultural background in mind, collaborating with a hospital interpreter and community health worker throughout.
