Every women has a right to physical and spiritual health starting form puberty to senescence.
As a women and a physician it is my sincere believe that prevention and careful follow-up are key to well-being through the different stages of womenhood. The gynaecological check-up starts with an in depth discussion about health history and present problems, followed by a gynecological examination (screening and ultrasound). Issues like contraception, hormonal problems, pain syndromes, irregular bleeding patterns, vaginal infections, incontinence, sexual dysfunctions, praeconceptional questions, or pregnancy issues will be addressed.

Recently an increasing number of women start family planning in an advanced age and with chronic conditions (autoimmune diseases, rheumatic diseases, IBD, diabetes, etc.). Prepregnancy counselling, preparation for pregnancy and carful interdisciplinary care during gestation are key to successful pregnancy.
