GYNECOLOGY IN GENERAL
The PLUS of safety. Nobody wants to deal with unpleasant illnesses. We like to suppress the
thought of possibly getting cancer. Cancer prevention as a statutory health insurance service
includes for all women:
cervix . Examination for chlamydia between 20 and 24 years of age
• From the age of 30 palpation of the breasts
• From the age of 50, the palpation of the rectum
• between 50 and 55 years of age, the annual examination for invisible blood in stool (FOB)
• From the age of 55 you have the choice between an iFOB every 2 years or a colonoscopy, which
is performed every 10 years
• Mammography screening every two years between 50 and 69 years
• The ultrasound of the uterus, ovaries and breast is not part of the normal early detection of cancer
and is only covered by the health insurance company if an illness is suspected.
If you want more security, you should opt for extended cancer screening
The preventive care PLUS helps to discover changes at an early stage. This is the best prerequisite for permanent
healing
In order to achieve this optimal supply, we recommend the following self-payment services:
• The ultrasound scan of the abdomen (uterus, ovaries and bladder) . The ultrasound scan of the breast
• Immunological stool test for the early detection of colon cancer before the age of 50 and after 55 years in the
test-free interval The following are also possible:
• Thin-layer cytology (Thin-prep): improved collection and preservation process for a more precise examination of
the cervical cells.
• HPV test: smear and test for human papilloma viruses, which can be partly responsible for cervical cancer. So far,
the HPV smear has only been accepted by the health insurers if t
Follow-up care for cancer
Cancer follow-up examinations are usually carried out after cancer treatment, and these are carried out at regular
intervals. Targeted laboratory diagnostics and disease-related examinations are carried out and documented in the
follow-up passport. In addition, extended examinations (CT, skeletal scintigram, mammography) are planned at
certain intervals. Participation in the breast cancer DMP (disease management programm) is possible in our
practice.
