FAQ

Mammography is a proven method for the early detection of breast cancer and is recommended every two years for women aged 50 and over with an inconspicuous family history of breast cancer. 

It makes it possible to detect the smallest changes in the breast tissue - often long before a lump is palpable and therefore before symptoms appear. 

It can also be used to detect microcalcifications. Microcalcifications are tiny calcium deposits in the breast tissue that become visible in a mammogram. They are not visible to the naked eye and cannot be felt. Microcalcifications can be both benign and an indication of a precancerous stage or breast cancer. 

Early diagnosis of breast cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and recovery. 

As there is currently no breast cancer screening program in the canton of Zurich, we register you for a mammogram as part of the preventive or "annual check-up". 

If you have any questions about mammography or would like to know whether it is recommended for you, we will be happy to advise you personally!

The type and number of examinations during pregnancy depend heavily on the individual risk profile. While two ultrasound examinations are covered by health insurance for an uncomplicated pregnancy in Switzerland, additional examinations may be necessary for high-risk pregnancies.

In addition to the medical examinations, we work closely with experienced midwives who accompany the pregnancy and provide valuable support. They not only help with antenatal care, but are also available to answer questions about the birth and the time afterwards.

Our aim is to provide expectant mothers with the best possible care and to ensure a safe and comfortable pregnancy. If you have any further questions or would like individual advice, we will be happy to help you!

They help to reduce the level of suffering and improve general well-being.

Alternative and complementary methods can include naturopathic approaches, acupuncture, osteopathy, physiotherapy, relaxation techniques or special nutritional strategies. 

While some of these methods can help to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life, it is important to coordinate them with conventional medicine to avoid interactions.

We are happy to advise you individually on possible complementary therapy approaches and work closely with specialists to ensure holistic care. If you have any questions or would like a personal consultation, we are always at your disposal!
