We provide competent and sensitive support in all situations

An appointment with a gynecologist is a very private matter for women of all ages. It is important to us that you feel you are in good hands with us, regardless of the reason for your visit. At our gynecology practice, an experienced and professionally competent team will take care of you and your concerns. We respond to your individual needs and attach great importance to transparent communication. We offer women of all ages comprehensive services in the field of gynecology and obstetrics. We are there for you – in good times and in difficult times.

Services

Teenager consultation

For girls and very young women, the focus is on counseling without a gynecological examination. They ask questions about contraception, changes in their bodies, HPV vaccination, or have other concerns they would like to discuss with a gynecologist. We are also there for this. Everything discussed in this context is subject to medical confidentiality.

Routine examinations

From the age of 20, every woman should have regular gynecological check-ups with a gynecologist. These include breast examination and pelvic examination, including a Pap smear. Depending on the patient's concerns and her life situation, topics such as mammography, ultrasound examinations, contraception, family planning, or complaints may be discussed.

Desire to have children and pregnancy

We will inform you about the expected course of pregnancy, examinations and prenatal tests with all their advantages and disadvantages, possible types and locations of birth, birth preparation, and everything else that concerns expectant mothers. With regular examinations, we ensure that any complications or risks are detected early and the necessary measures are taken. We are here for you if you have any questions or concerns, whatever the reason. Are you trying to conceive but are unable to get pregnant? You can talk to us about this too.

Menopause

After the fertile years, the female body changes and presents many women with new challenges. New questions arise and often symptoms appear that can affect quality of life. We accompany and support you during this sometimes turbulent time – and in all the years that follow.
