Treatment: Patient had a Laparoscopic Myomectomy due to the recurrence of fibroids after being treated in her home country
Hospital: Medical Park Hospital, Turkey
Treating Doctors: Dr. Hediye Dagdeviren
“After years of battling recurrent fibroids in Sierra Leone, I felt hopeless. Despite previous treatments, my fibroids returned, stealing my peace and health. That’s when Arhama (Assistant Manager-Patient Advisory) from MediGence became my beacon of hope. She guided me to Dr. Hediye Dagdeviren at Medical Park Hospital in Turkey, where I underwent a laparoscopic myomectomy on March 27, 2025.
From the moment I landed in Turkey on April 16, 2025, I received exceptional care. The hospital was modern and spotless, and Dr. Dagdeviren’s expertise immediately put me at ease. She explained how the minimally invasive surgery, Laproscopy Myomectomy, would remove all fibroids—and she delivered! The procedure was a complete success, freeing me from pain I’d endured for years.
But what sets this journey apart is the holistic care by MediGence. Before I returned home after 30 days, Dr. Dagdeviren emphasised the importance of preventing recurrence.
The rehab vertical of MediGence did wonders for me. Dr. Vijita prescribed pelvic floor rehabilitation and a gentle exercise protocol to strengthen my core and pelvic muscles. This proactive approach showed me that they genuinely cared about my long-term health, not just the surgery.
To anyone hesitant about medical travel: trust this process. The team handled everything—visas, travel, and accommodations—letting me focus entirely on healing. Today, I’m not just fibroid-free; I’m empowered with the tools to stay healthy. Thank you for giving me my life back!”

Rehabilitation & After‑care Plan
Dr. Vijita recommended a structured pelvic floor rehabilitation program to prevent recurrence and enhance core strength:
- Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT), including Kegels, designed to support pelvic organs and minimize urinary symptoms. Research shows that PFMT after fibroid surgery significantly improves pelvic function and quality of life compared to no training.
- General Exercise Protocols tailored to my age and recovery stage—starting gentle aerobic activity, progressing to strength and stability routines, following evidence-based guidelines.
- Routine Follow‑Ups via telehealth to track progress, adjust exercises, and ensure full rehabilitation post-return home.
