Knowledge
Medically reviewed articles on the topics that come up most often in consultation.
No self-help tone, no promises of salvation: what is established, what is disputed and what is concretely possible in our practice. All texts are authored by Dr. med. Anna M. Wagner, specialist FMH in gynaecology and obstetrics.
Cycle & bleeding
Pain, irregular or heavy bleeding is not a matter of character. There are causes – and usually more than one treatment option.
Painful periods
Dysmenorrhoea: when pain needs assessment and what actually helps.
Heavy bleeding
When bleeding is too heavy, what causes it and which therapies exist.
Irregular periods
Making sense of cycle disorders: hormones, thyroid, PMOS or life stage.
PMS and PMDD
When the days before your period become a burden – and what reliably eases them.
Endometriosis & adenomyosis
Often only visible on specialised ultrasound. Causes and modern treatment.
PMOS (formerly PCOS)
Hormonal metabolic disorder: assessment, metabolism, fertility, long-term risks.
Contraception
There is no best method – only the one that fits your life stage, your health and your everyday routine.
Hormones & life stages
Perimenopause, sleep, mood, libido: hormonal change is normal – suffering through it is not.
Pelvic floor & intimate health
Prolapse, incontinence and vulval skin changes are common – and almost always treatable.
Urinary incontinence
Stress or urge incontinence: diagnosis and the stages of therapy.
Prolapse
Uterine and bladder descent: assessment, pessary, training, surgery.
EMP Chair Pro
Pelvic floor training with electromagnetic stimulation – who benefits.
Lichen sclerosus
Chronic vulval skin condition: recognise early, treat consistently.
Screening & diagnostics
What a check-up actually examines, what a finding means – and what it does not mean.
Pap smear and colposcopy
Cervical screening, the role of HPV, the meaning of abnormal findings.
Gynaecological ultrasound
What ultrasound shows – and why some findings only appear on specialised scans.
Cancer follow-up care
Gynaecological support after a cancer diagnosis.
Fibroids
Benign and common – when treatment is needed and when follow-up is enough.
Ovarian cysts
Why most cysts resolve on their own and are not operated on.
Bladder infection & bacteriuria
When antibiotics are needed – and why bacteria without symptoms are not treated.
Vitamin D
When testing makes sense, what basic insurance covers – and how to supplement correctly.
What basic insurance covers
How many ultrasound scans and check-ups insurance pays for – and what you pay yourself.
What we deliberately don't do
Five tests and treatments we do not perform without a reason – with the reasoning.
