Women’s health & hormones

Holistic approach for a harmo­nious hormonal balance.
Women’s health is closely linked to their hormonal system, and imba­lances can have a variety of effects on well-​being. We offer a holi­stic approach that focuses on the indi­vi­dual needs of women. We iden­tify the causes of hormonal imba­lances and develop custo­mized thera­pies.

SYMPTOMS

Hormonal imbalances/​premenstrual syndrome

Irregular cycles, mood swings and other hormonal complaints have a signi­fi­cant impact on ever­yday life. Many women suffer from irri­ta­bi­lity or depres­sive moods before their period. Common physical complaints include breast tender­ness, heada­ches, sleep disor­ders and abdo­minal pain.

Painful period/​endometriosis

Years of pain during periods can be a sign of endo­me­triosis. The severe discom­fort expe­ri­enced by many women often has a signi­fi­cant impact on their lives at other times in their cycle and can lead to a dete­rio­ra­tion in their quality of life.

Menopausal symptoms

Hot flushes, sleep disor­ders and mood swings are the classic symptoms during the meno­pause. There may also be other, less well-​known symptoms that affect your well-​being. These include joint pain, dizziness, tinnitus, frozen shoulder, high chole­sterol and many more.

Approach

Observations

In parti­cular, women’s health and their indi­vi­dual complaints are often not taken as seriously as men’s health and complaints. This is why the term ‚gender health gap‘ has been around for some time. This describes the discrepancy in medical rese­arch and treat­ment between the sexes.

We observe that many women are often left alone with their specific health problems due to this gap in medical care. At our center, we ther­e­fore attach parti­cular importance to reco­gni­zing and taking women’s indi­vi­dual health chal­lenges seriously.

Forms of therapy

At our center, we focus on a holi­stic approach to women’s health, offe­ring various specia­lized forms of therapy that are indi­vi­du­ally tail­ored to the needs and hormonal imba­lances of our pati­ents. For example, we work with indi­vi­dua­lized hormone repla­ce­ment therapy based on bioiden­tical hormones. This is carefully dosed and moni­tored to meet the specific needs of each patient.

In addi­tion, we attach great importance to nutri­tional advice and therapy, as a balanced diet is crucial for hormonal health. Our nutri­tion specia­lists develop tailor-​made nutri­tion plans that are speci­fi­cally aimed at alle­via­ting complaints such as PMS and meno­pausal symptoms.
We also use phyto­the­rapy to gently correct hormonal imba­lances. Here we speci­fi­cally use plant extracts and herbs that are known for their posi­tive effect on the hormonal system. In addi­tion, we recom­mend speci­ally tail­ored exer­cise programs that not only promote physical well-​being but also contri­bute to hormonal balance.

We also advise our pati­ents on envi­ron­mental and life­style changes. We help them to iden­tify and adjust factors in their daily lives that could affect their hormonal health.
„Restoring hormonal balance is key to impro­ving quality of life and well-​being. Every woman is unique, and so should her treat­ment.“

GOOD TO KNOW

We look forward to welco­ming you to our clinic. We take enough time to under­stand your medical history. Based on your previous findings, the completed medical history form and our diagno­stics, we will create a custo­mized treat­ment plan for you. Please note that you should come with an empty stomach (water is permitted) to enable us to make an accu­rate diagnosis.

We attach great importance to cost trans­pa­rency and will inform you of the costs incurred before treat­ment begins. Please note that private health insu­rance poli­cies are very unli­kely to cover all services. In such cases, you will have to bear the costs yourself. We will be happy to answer any ques­tions you may have about insu­rance cover, co-​payments or payment options.

To make your appoint­ment with us as conve­nient as possible, we offer you the option of simply arran­ging your consul­ta­tion online. You can choose between appoint­ments of 30 or 60 minutes, depen­ding on your needs. Alternatively, you can also leave us a message by phone and we will get back to you imme­dia­tely to arrange your appoint­ment.

To ensure effec­tive commu­ni­ca­tion, we ask you to select an appoint­ment option online. Be it for a face-​to-​face appoint­ment in the prac­tice, a video consul­ta­tion or a tele­phone consul­ta­tion. Alternatively, you can also leave us a tele­phone message.

Please under­stand that e‑mail inqui­ries cannot be answered due to time cons­traints.

Please note that repeat prescrip­tion orders will be processed with suffi­cient lead time (14 days). For prescrip­tion requests, please send an e‑mail to: rezepte@zentrum-funktionelle-medizin.de

We are aware of our respon­si­bi­lity and devote the utmost atten­tion to your concerns. The path of func­tional medi­cine requires pati­ence and it takes expe­ri­ence to develop solu­tions that enable health in depth. In doing so, we conduct rese­arch and talk to other specia­lists and thera­pists until we have found a solu­tion.
