Gynaecological preventive care - your health takes centre stage
Regular preventive check-ups - an important contribution to your health
Gynaecological screening is an essential building block for your health. It makes it possible to recognise changes at an early stage and prevent them effectively. This includes a cancer smear test (Pap test), breast examination, palpation of the pelvis and inspection of the vulva. Regular preventive examinations allow diseases such as cervical cancer, breast cancer or abnormalities in the abdomen to be detected at an early stage.
Important topics such as the HPV vaccination, advice on infection risks and support during the menopause are also part of gynaecological screening. The check-ups are not only aimed at women with complaints - even if you feel healthy, it makes sense to have these check-ups regularly.

Gynaecological screening in detail - what is important during the examination
Gynaecological screening consists of various components that together help to comprehensively protect your health. These include a cancer smear test, breast examination, HPV vaccination, ultrasound examinations and support in the event of hormonal changes. Our gynaecological practice in Bern supports you step by step and takes the time to discuss any unanswered questions.
Cancer smear test (Pap test) - screening for the cervix
The Pap test (cancer smear test) is a key element of screening and helps to recognise cell changes at an early stage. The aim is to recognise changes in the cervix at an early stage in order to prevent disease. The cancer smear test allows risks to be detected in good time and possible treatments to be initiated. The examination is uncomplicated and only takes a few minutes. At our practice, we will accompany you sensitively during this appointment and clarify whether further checks are advisable.
Breast examination - early detection for your safety
A regular palpation of the breast is part of comprehensive preventive care and enables any abnormalities to be recognised in good time. The breast tissue is carefully palpated to detect any lumps or changes at an early stage. A regular examination can be useful even if there is no specific risk. The breast examination only takes a few minutes and can give you valuable reassurance. We support you in keeping an eye on your breast health.
HPV vaccination - protection against cervical cancer
The HPV vaccination protects against certain viruses that can later lead to cervical cancer. It is an important part of modern prevention. Vaccination is usually recommended in adolescence, but is also possible for young adults. At our practice, we will advise you in detail about the HPV vaccination and the right time to get it. Vaccination is a proven component of modern prevention and can help to reduce the risk of later illnesses.
Ultrasound in gynaecological screening - checking the uterus and ovaries safely
A gynaecological ultrasound helps to accurately assess the uterus and ovaries. This allows cysts, fibroids or other abnormalities to be detected at an early stage. The ultrasound is painless and can be easily integrated into your preventive appointment. At our practice, we will discuss with you whether an ultrasound makes sense as part of your preventive care.
