Gynecologist: what to know

A gynecologist is the specialist doctor for women's health and the female reproductive system. They carry out gynaecological check-ups and screening, advise on contraception, follow you through pregnancy and treat menstrual problems or symptoms of the menopause.

When to book an appointment

• A gynaecological check-up and cervical screening
• Advice on contraception or renewing your current method
• Pregnancy care or planning to have a baby
• Painful or irregular periods, or menopausal symptoms

Costs in Switzerland

Consultations are covered by compulsory basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG); depending on your insurance model, direct access without a family doctor referral is often possible.
