The endings are the same ones the pronouns wear — that page explains when each case is used.
With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | problemammy problem | problemalarımmy problems |
| your | problemangyour problem | problemalarıngyour problems |
| his / her | problemasıhis / her problem | problemalarıhis / her problems |
| our | problemabızour problem | problemalarıbızour problems |

The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: problemaları can mean "his / her problems", "their problem", or "their problems" — context decides.
