General gynaecology

At the Gynaecology Department of Zuger Kantonsspital, we support women of all ages. Whether it’s general preventive care, age-specific queries regarding contraception and family planning, or symptoms associated with the menopause and beyond: we are here for you.

We also treat a full range of gynaecological conditions, such as infertility, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence, as well as malignant diseases of the breast and the lower abdomen. We take the time to listen and address your individual circumstances.

Comprehensive gynaecological care for every stage of life

Whether it’s a routine check-up, questions about contraception and the menopause, difficulty conceiving, or investigating abnormal bleeding and incontinence: we cover the entire spectrum of gynaecology. We place particular emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis and infections of the female reproductive organs.

Modern treatment for endometriosis and fibroids

Gentle, minimally invasive surgical techniques can often significantly alleviate symptoms associated with endometriosis or fibroids, particularly when quality of life has been compromised over a long period. The aim is always to reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Sometimes, this can also fulfil a long-held desire to have children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What services does the gynaecology department at Zuger Kantonsspital offer?

We care for women of all ages – from routine check-ups, contraception, the menopause and infertility to the treatment of menstrual disorders, incontinence, fibroids, endometriosis and infections. Every treatment is tailored to your individual circumstances.

How is endometriosis treated?

Depending on the findings and symptoms, treatment can range from medication to gentle, minimally invasive surgery. The aim is to relieve affected women of their often distressing symptoms and improve their quality of life. We will discuss the most suitable course of action with you on an individual basis.

How often should I have a gynaecological check-up?

As a general guide, you should have a check-up once a year or every two years. The frequency may vary depending on your age and personal risk factors. Regular check-ups enable changes to be detected at an early stage, and you will receive advice on topics such as contraception or the menopause.

What are fibroids and when do they need to be treated?

Fibroids are non-cancerous muscle growths in the womb. Not every fibroid needs to be treated. The key factors are symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pain or a feeling of pressure. We will assess whether treatment is necessary for you, and if so, which option is most suitable.

Does the gynaecology department also offer advice on the menopause?

Yes. We can advise you on physical changes, symptoms and treatment options during the menopause, tailored to your individual circumstances.
