M.D. Ulduz Jafarova

As a transgender man (24) seeking hysterectomy as part of my transition, I faced numerous rejections. Dr. Jafarova provided respectful, informed care, navigating complex hormonal considerations with my endocrinologist. Her postoperative approach minimized scarring concerns important to me, and her staff consistently used my chosen name, creating a safe healthcare experience.

As a 42-year-old archaeologist working on a remote dig in Anatolia, I discovered I was pregnant with unexpected twins while dealing with a complex uterine septum. Dr. Jafarova coordinated a meticulous surgical correction via teleconsultation before my return, then performed the procedure at Acibadem Kadikoy with such precision that I carried both babies to 38 weeks. Her ability to manage a high-risk pregnancy across distances gave me confidence throughout.

My 17-year-old daughter, a nationally-ranked rhythmic gymnast, developed severe endometriosis that threatened her career. Dr. Jafarova created a customized treatment plan preserving fertility while managing pain, incorporating collaboration with sports medicine specialists. She returned to competition within 5 months, pain-free, with Dr. Jafarova's ongoing support balancing athletic demands with gynecological health.

During a routine checkup at 51, Dr. Jafarova detected early-stage ovarian cancer through subtle symptom patterns others had dismissed. Her rapid coordination with oncology at Acibadem Kadikoy led to fertility-sparing surgery. Two years later, I'm cancer-free and recently welcomed a grandchild—a joy I might have missed without her diagnostic vigilance.
