All Services
Our private practice for gynecology and obstetrics focuses on in-depth consultations, thorough diagnostics, and comprehensive treatment. (Information for self-paying patients.)
We offer the following services:
Preventive check-ups
From age 20
An annual Pap smear for the early detection of cervical cancer is one of the recommended preventive examinations for women. In our practice, we offer conventional cytology and ThinPrep examinations.
A breast examination is also part of the annual preventive care.
From age 35
A Pap smear for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is recommended every three years. We also offer this service in our practice.
From age 40
In addition, a breast ultrasound is a useful preventive service from age 40 onwards to detect small, non-palpable changes early. If there is a family history of breast cancer, an ultrasound may be performed earlier. Breast discomfort can also often be clarified promptly with ultrasound.
Furthermore, you can have an ultrasound of the ovaries and uterus performed as part of your preventive examination in my practice.
From age 50
From age 50, women are recommended to have an immunological stool test. We offer this test.
We will discuss which preventive examinations and at what intervals are appropriate for you in a personal consultation.
Trying to Conceive, Family Planning
Before planning a pregnancy, many women want an examination and consultation regarding nutrition, vitamins and essential nutrients, lifestyle, and personal health risks.
In a detailed consultation, you and your partner can ask all questions you may have.
I also support you if pregnancy does not occur. The investigation of possible causes is carried out using a gynecological examination, ultrasound, and laboratory tests.
After evaluating the results, I will advise you on the next necessary steps.
Pregnancy Care
We provide sensitive and expert support to you and your partner throughout the special time of pregnancy. Every pregnancy is unique and deserves individualized care. We strive to consider your wishes, physical condition, and individual risk profile.
Our pregnancy care services include:
- Prenatal checkups in accordance with current maternity guidelines, regular lab tests
- Regular ultrasound examinations to monitor your baby’s development
- Counseling on nutrition, lifestyle, and health-related topics during pregnancy
- Discussions and consultations to address any concerns you may have
- Assessment and support in cases of high-risk pregnancies
Contraception
Depending on your stage of life and physical condition, different contraceptive methods are appropriate. We will discuss your current wishes and needs together.
IUD insertions can be performed within short time
As a mother of two grown up daughters, advising and supporting teenagers and young women is particularly important to me.
Incontinence Problems
Incontinence, meaning involuntary urine loss, is a taboo subject, even though statistically 25% of all women in Germany suffer from it.
There are many causes, they range from age and strain on the pelvic floor due to pregnancies or heavy physical labor to internal medical and neurological conditions. Since there are two different forms of incontinence, a thorough assessment of the symptoms and a physical examination are necessary first. The individual therapy is then determined based on the findings.
Should special examinations or surgical procedures be required, these will be performed at a certified pelvic floor center.
Menopause
Menopause marks a hormonal shift in a woman’s body. The ovaries cease hormone production. For many women, this transition presents a challenge both physically and mentally and is often associated with numerous so-called menopausal symptoms.
In addition to the classic and most common symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and irregular bleeding, muscle and joint pain, depression, difficulty concentrating, decreased performance, and many other symptoms can also occur.
I will take the time to discuss your symptoms and provide you with comprehensive advice so that you can begin this new phase of your life well.
Preventive medicine and nutricional therapy
Preventive medicine focuses on identifying individual risk factors – for example, genetic predisposition, family history, individual lifestyle, and living conditions.
A lifestyle that promotes health and prevents disease is beneficial for everyone, albeit with different priorities for each individual. This includes a balanced diet and, if necessary, micronutrient supplementation.
My colleague Dr. Patricia Faas-Fehervary from Zurich conducts micronutrient analysis and individualized treatment (known as orthomolecular medicine) at my practice.
Psychosomatic complaints
You’ve probably heard sayings like: “The body is a mirror of the soul.” Or: “The soul can make the body sick.” That’s easy to say, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Psychosomatic medicine views the body as a whole.
Psychosomatic illnesses arise from the interplay of psychological, biological, and social factors. This does not mean, by any means, that there is nothing wrong with you or that you are imagining things. For example, when we experience prolonged stress, our immune system reacts, and the number of immune cells in our blood decreases. We get sick more easily and take longer to recover.
I can help you understand these connections, identify the causes, and perhaps find a different treatment for your symptoms.
