Obstetrics and fertility treatments

Intro

Pregnancy and the birth of a child are very special moments in a woman’s life. In the obstetrics department, competent doctors, midwives and breastfeeding consultants support expectant mothers with great sensitivity. A high-risk pregnancy will be monitored particularly closely. In the event of an infertility problem, the gynaecologist will identify the various causes precisely. There are a variety of treatments available that can have a positive impact on your chances of having a baby.

Which examinations are necessary during pregnancy?
Throughout pregnancy, ultrasound examinations are used to check whether the baby is developing properly in the womb. The individual organs such as the heart are clearly visible, and the child’s sex can also be identified from the 20th week of pregnancy. In the 11th to 14th weeks of pregnancy, abnormalities in the chromosomes of the unborn child can be detected. The purpose of the examinations is to identify any risks at an early stage so that they can be treated immediately.

What happens at the birth?
Every birth is an incomparable moment in a woman’s life. A positive atmosphere and the health of mother and child are the focus here. State-of-the-art medical equipment is available to ensure their safety. Ideally, a gentle delivery should be possible. If the birth does not go smoothly or if the woman requests it, a caesarean section can be performed. Here, too, the special experience and support from a sensitive team are key.

What can be done if infertility problems arise?
When efforts to have a baby do not work out, there can be many different reasons for this. Physical causes are equally common in women, men, or both. Get advice early so you don’t lose valuable time. In many cases, the affected couples are not completely sterile, but just need a little help. In addition to various other treatments, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is an option. Here, the egg cell is artificially fertilised in a laboratory and then implanted into the woman.
