Specialist Physiotherapist

Background

I was born in Mersin in 1995. After completing middle school and high school in Mersin, I graduated from Hacettepe University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in 2017. During my undergraduate studies and working life, I completed a range of courses on pelvic floor health in Turkey and abroad. Since 2017, I have gained clinical experience in adult and pediatric pelvic floor health at several clinics. In children, I have worked with urinary and fecal incontinence (wetting and soiling), neurogenic bladder, anal atresia, constipation and recurrent urinary tract infections; in adults, with urinary and fecal incontinence, stress urinary incontinence, constipation, sexual problems, interstitial cystitis, neurogenic bladder and related conditions. I have taught on courses about pelvic floor health and continue my scientific work in this field.
