Services offered

Pregnancy and postnatal care accompanies you during one of the most important phases of your life. During pregnancy, regular examinations offer not only medical monitoring but also emotional support. 3D ultrasound allows us to visualize your baby in exceptional detail, allowing for more precise diagnostics and, at the same time, an unforgettable experience for expectant parents. Postnatal care ensures that you receive the best possible support after the birth, so that you feel safe and comfortable during this time of recovery and adjustment. A special focus is also placed on examining the pelvic floor.

Prenatal care includes all important examinations performed during pregnancy to ensure the health of mother and child. These include regular ultrasound scans, blood tests, urine tests, and monitoring the progress of the pregnancy. The goal is to identify any potential risks early and take immediate action if necessary. Through close support, we ensure that you feel safe and well cared for throughout your pregnancy.

Prevention and screening are essential in gynecology to maintain a woman's health and detect potential diseases early. During a screening appointment, we offer comprehensive examinations, such as a Pap smear for the early detection of cervical cancer, breast examinations, and targeted counseling on contraception, hormone balance, and other women-specific topics. Regular screenings allow risk factors to be identified early and individually tailored treatment to promote your long-term health.

In our hormone consultation, we take the time to address your individual concerns and develop a customized therapy to restore your hormonal balance. Bioidentical hormones, which precisely match your body's natural hormones and are therefore particularly well-tolerated, have proven particularly effective in this regard.Whether you're dealing with irregular menstrual cycles, menopausal symptoms, PMS, endometriosis, infertility, or chronic exhaustion – we support you with in-depth knowledge and a gentle, natural approach. In a detailed consultation and based on modern diagnostic methods, we will work together to develop a customized treatment plan that is optimally tailored to your needs. Our goal is to sustainably improve your quality of life and promote your holistic health.

An unfulfilled desire to have children can have many causes. In our fertility consultation, we will sensitively accompany you on your journey, relying on comprehensive and holistic diagnostics. Cycle monitoring allows us to gain precise insights into your natural cycle and thus provide optimal support for your body.Our approach combines state-of-the-art medical methods with a holistic understanding of your health. Together, we identify potential obstacles and develop a customized plan that naturally promotes your fertility. From optimizing your hormone balance – also with bioidentical hormones – to nutritional and lifestyle advice, your needs are our focus.Our goal is to provide you with sensitive and competent support so that you can get a step closer to fulfilling your dream of having a child.

Proper nutrition and an adequate supply of micronutrients are essential for your health and well-being. In our practice, we support you in specifically optimizing your diet and identifying and compensating for potential nutrient deficiencies.Whether you are suffering from chronic complaints, hormonal imbalances, the desire to conceive, menstrual irregularities, or general exhaustion – we analyze your individual needs and develop a customized plan based on modern diagnostics. Micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and trace elements play a key role in supporting the body's own processes and strengthening its self-healing powers.Our goal is to sustainably accompany you on your path to more energy, balance, and health – with a holistic approach that is optimally tailored to your body.

In our emergency consultation, we offer fast and uncomplicated care for gynecological complaints that arise suddenly. Whether it's pain, unusual bleeding, infection, or other acute symptoms – we take the time to promptly examine your symptoms and make a rapid diagnosis. Our goal is to offer you prompt treatment and alleviate your concerns so you can quickly feel well and healthy again.

In our pelvic floor consultation, we offer targeted examination and consultation for complaints such as incontinence, pelvic floor weakness, or pelvic pain. Through a detailed medical history and special examination techniques, we determine the causes and develop an individualized treatment plan. Pelvic floor ultrasound provides a precise visualization of the pelvic floor muscles and their function, allowing for early detection and targeted treatment of any disorders. The goal is to improve your quality of life and ensure effective, tailored treatment.

Vaginal laser therapy is a treatment for the vaginal area that supports the regeneration of dry, painful, or itchy skin. Treatment with the vaginal laser stimulates the mucous membrane to regenerate, moisturize, and tighten. Vaginal laser therapy has been successfully used for postmenopausal vaginal atrophy, as well as for vulvodynia, stress incontinence, lichen sclerosus, scars, and vaginal relaxation syndrome. Pain during intercourse, frequent cystitis, an irritable bladder, and an unpleasant feeling of dryness can be treated with minimal complications.

In contraception counseling, we offer individualized, comprehensive advice on various contraceptive methods, tailored to your personal needs and life situation. We discuss the different options, such as the pill, IUD, copper chain, and natural methods, and explain their advantages and disadvantages. Our goal is to work together to find the contraceptive method that best suits your needs and optimally combines safety, convenience, and health.
