Gynaecology & Obstetrics

Regular check-ups support the early detection of health changes and provide long-term, individual support for gynaecological health.

• Detailed medical consultation (medical history)
• Pap smear ("cervical smear test") if needed
• HPV test if needed
• Testing for infections (bacteria, fungi, chlamydia) if needed
• Colposcopy (examination of the cervix, vagina and vulva using a colposcope) if needed
• Vaginal secretion examination (wet mount)
• Palpation of the lower abdomen
• Ultrasound examination (transvaginal ultrasound with assessment of the ovaries and uterus)
• Breast palpation
• Urine test for infections, blood and metabolic changes

Careful diagnostics form the basis for targeted treatment of gynaecological infections and symptoms. Both external and internal genital areas are assessed.

• Fungal infection (thrush, candida)
• Bacterial vaginosis
• Genital warts (condylomata)
• Chlamydia
• Bartholinitis
• Inflammation of the fallopian tube and ovary (adnexitis)
• Genital herpes
• Trichomoniasis

The first gynaecological appointment offers space for questions, orientation and getting to know one another in a trusting way — without pressure and in a protected atmosphere. An examination is not always necessary. Guidance is provided on self-determination, the menstrual cycle, periods, contraception, vaccinations and sexually transmitted infections.

• Option of a conversation without examination
• Ultrasound examination and consultation if needed
• Appointment possible alone or accompanied

The choice of suitable contraception is based on personal circumstances, needs and individual experience. Counselling covers both hormonal and non-hormonal methods of contraception.

Hormonal:

• The pill
• Mini-pill
• Vaginal ring
• Contraceptive patch
• Hormonal IUD
• Contraceptive implant
• Cycle postponement (e.g. for special occasions, holidays...)

Non-hormonal:

• Condom
• Copper-gold IUD
• Copper IUD
• Temperature method
• Fertility monitor
• Diaphragm and cervical cap

Prenatal diagnostics supports a detailed assessment of the unborn child's development and provides a well-founded basis for decisions during pregnancy.

• First-trimester screening (combined test) including pre-eclampsia screening
• Organ ultrasound
• Foetal echocardiography
• Growth ultrasound
• Doppler ultrasound
• 3D/4D imaging
• Counselling and performance of NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing), blood test
• Counselling on invasive diagnostics

Pregnancy is a special time in which many things change. The focus is on attentive, continuous care for mother and child — guided by the maternity record and tailored to your individual situation. We support you competently through all stages of pregnancy, offering a comprehensive programme of prenatal care and diagnostics:

• Ultrasound examinations as specified in the maternity record
• Blood tests as specified in the maternity record
• Urine testing
• Blood pressure and weight monitoring
• CTG examination (foetal heart rate)
• Group B streptococcus swab (GBS), from the 36th week of pregnancy
• Multiple pregnancies

The wish to have a child is deeply personal and emotional, often accompanied by hope, longing and many questions. Targeted assessment and counselling help you to better understand your individual circumstances and take the next step with clarity and confidence.

• Counselling when planning a pregnancy & preconception counselling
• Baseline hormone diagnostics
• Gynaecological 3D ultrasound
• HSG (hysterosalpingography, to check fallopian tube patency and uterine malformations)
• Testing for infections
• Endometrial biopsy
• Cycle monitoring (blood tests and ultrasound examinations)
• Counselling and recommendations for further treatment

After birth, the focus is on physical recovery, postpartum healing and consciously settling into this new stage of life. Care provides space for questions, orientation and individual support.

• Gynaecological examination and ultrasound (6 weeks after birth)
• Pelvic floor counselling
• Contraception
• Baby blues: support with emotional changes after birth

Hormonal changes affect many aspects of physical and emotional wellbeing. Care is tailored to individual needs and the different stages of hormonal change.

• Gynaecological consultation
• Bone health
• Baseline hormone diagnostics if needed
• Hormonal (bioidentical or non-bioidentical) and non-hormonal treatment strategies, as well as complementary therapeutic approaches during peri- and post-menopause
