Center for Interdisciplinary Women's Health

Why prevention especially for women?

In women, hormones regulate much more than just the processes of reproduction. They intervene in many other regulatory circuits of the body.

For example, shifts or age-related changes in the female hormone balance can influence the development of numerous diseases of the entire organism. Therefore, in addition to the annual gynaecological check-up, it makes sense to clarify various health risks at an early stage.

In our MEDIZINICUM Hamburg, 50 experienced specialists from 25 disciplines work together in an interdisciplinary manner to take a holistic view of your symptoms and make a targeted diagnosis.

The hormonal influence of the female body

Symptoms such as diabetes, obesity or osteoporosis are often hormonally influenced in their development. Cardiovascular diseases, the vitality of the skin and hair and, last but not least, mental balance also depend to a large extent on a well regulated hormone balance. The development and severity of autoimmunological diseases (e.g. rheumatism) is also related to gender-specific genetics and hormone regulation.

Contrary to standardized procedures, it is our aim to record individual risks within the framework of a prevention program tailored to your needs, taking into account the female biological constitution. Experienced specialists - on request only specialists - guide you through the selected examinations and, after discussing the results, create an effective and comprehensive strategy for your well-being. The fact that all interdisciplinary investigations are organised, evaluated and surveyed from a single source creates significant time savings, efficiency and a holistic approach.
