Prenatal medicine
The vast majority of babies are born healthy and on schedule after a largely problem-free pregnancy. This is due not least to regular check-ups and good care for pregnant women by gynaecologists in private practice. Only around nine per cent of children nationwide are born before the end of the 37th week of pregnancy and are considered premature babies.
Prenatal or prenatal medicine also makes it possible to examine the child in the womb to determine whether the child is healthy. At the Clinic for Gynaecology and Obstetrics, all tried and tested procedures from ultrasound to amniocentesis are available for this purpose. In special cases, it is now even possible to treat the unborn child during pregnancy.
Obstetrics at the University Women's Hospital
Even though the majority of births are natural and without complications, most women appreciate the safety of giving birth in hospital. Here, all medical options are available to intervene quickly in the event of problems during labour and, for example, to perform a caesarean section.
The obstetrics section of the University Women's Hospital ensures a good start to life and supports pregnant women before, during and after the birth. On average, seven babies are born every day in our friendly and cosy delivery room. The state-of-the-art medical equipment and the great professional expertise of our doctors, midwives and maternity assistants offer maximum safety, even in the case of high-risk pregnancies or complicated births.
Involvement of the parents
Close cooperation with the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine in general and the premature baby unit in particular ensures that even sick newborns and premature babies receive the best possible medical care and treatment. Mothers and fathers are involved in the care of their children at all times.
The Fertility and Hormone Centre
Today, modern medicine offers women with an unfulfilled desire to have children a whole range of diagnostic and therapeutic options in order to first determine the causes of infertility and then possibly fulfil the wish for a child of their own with various treatment options. In our Fertility and Hormone Centre, affected women will find competent contacts for this.
