Gender-specific help
Due to biological differences alone, a number of health problems affect women alone. These include all gynaecological diseases and also predominantly breast diseases. In addition, women and men suffer from different diseases with different frequency and severity. It is assumed that both biological and social factors play a role in this. In the narrower sense, the term "women's health" refers primarily to gender-specific complaints and illnesses in women.
Quality-certified standards
In recent years, medical centres have been established for a whole range of diseases in which experts from different disciplines work closely together with great success in treatment. Breast centres, in which patients with breast cancer are treated on an interdisciplinary basis, were at the forefront of this development. The Breast Centre of the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Ulm University Hospital was awarded the quality seal of the German Cancer Society and the German Society for Senology back in 2003. The gynaecological cancer centre is also quality-certified. All cancers of the female reproductive organs are treated here according to the latest medical standards.
Specialised centres
Many women suffer from painful metastases of the uterine lining, endometriosis, or changes to the pelvic floor, which are also treated in specialised medical centres. Today, modern medicine offers women with an unfulfilled desire to have children a whole range of diagnostic and therapeutic options to first determine the causes of infertility and then possibly fulfil their 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.
With its comprehensive and modern medical services, the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Ulm University Hospital is now the centre for women's health in the Ulm region.
