Kadikoy’s market and food streets on the Asian side make food-related tummy troubles common. Late nights and dehydration add to the risk after a long journey. Get a swollen, painful leg checked the same day.
Travel guide to Kadikoy
Kadikoy was ancient Chalcedon, long before the old peninsula across the water grew. Tourist tip: take the ferry from Eminonu, graze the fish and produce market and stroll Moda’s seafront; Bagdat Caddesi nearby is the main fashion street.
For visitors from the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand
- No language barrier: Dr. Yasbala consults in English, so you can describe symptoms naturally.
- Emergency number: dial 112 in Turkey, not 999, 000, 111 or 911.
- Medicine names differ: paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the US, and brands in Turkey differ from home. Tell the doctor what you normally take, or send a photo of the packet.
- Insurance: check your travel policy before treatment and keep the invoice and prescription we send you.
- Any time zone: the on-demand doctor is available 24/7, whatever the time is back home.

Causes and risk factors
Long periods of sitting still on flights, buses or bed rest, recent surgery or injury, pregnancy, hormone medicines, dehydration, smoking and a history of clots all raise the risk.
What is deep vein thrombosis (dvt)?
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, typically in the leg. It is serious because the clot can travel to the lungs, so it requires urgent assessment, often with an ultrasound scan.
Treatment options for deep vein thrombosis (dvt) in Kadikoy
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The doctor can judge how likely it is, and will arrange an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person assessment, and advise where to go. Treatment can involve blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
- Tell the doctor about recent flights, surgery or immobility
- Drink water and move around commonly on long journeys to lower the risk
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
