Gynecologists Near You in Munich - Preventive Care & Holistic Care
Are you looking to have an IUD inserted in Munich but are concerned about potential pain or perhaps had a difficult experience in the past? This is an important topic that should be addressed openly during contraceptive counseling. We take the time to consider your wishes, your medical history, and your personal sensitivity to pain. Together, we will determine which IUD is right for you and discuss which pain management options might be appropriate for the insertion.
Our goal is not to provide a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather to help you make an informed, medically sound decision. If you would like to compare different methods first, you can find an overview of hormonal and non-hormonal options in our contraceptive counseling.
What may be important to you with us
Gynecological care relies on both medical expertise and trust. Dr. Ellen Hahn studied medicine at the University of Regensburg and the Technical University of Munich. Following positions both in Germany and abroad, she completed her specialist training in Central Switzerland and subsequently at the Women’s Clinic at Munich Clinic Harlaching from 2016 to 2019. She has been a board-certified specialist in gynecology and obstetrics since 2018, and from 2020 to 2025, she worked as an employed specialist in a Munich gynecological practice.
This combination of clinical and outpatient experience shapes the care she provides today: symptoms are not only examined but also explained in clear, understandable terms. Decisions are discussed transparently, and your individual life circumstances remain a central part of the medical approach. Dr. Hahn also speaks English, French, and Italian.
Your gynaecologist in Munich: Services that suit your everyday life
Pain perception during the insertion of an IUD varies significantly. Some women feel only a brief tug or cramp, while others find the procedure considerably more painful. For this reason, it would be misleading to promise that an IUD insertion is universally "painless."
How the procedure is experienced can depend on factors such as individual anatomy, the cervix, previous births, past experiences, tension, and personal pain tolerance. If you are worried about pain, please feel free to mention this during your initial consultation.
The current AWMF guideline for non-hormonal contraception states that pain medication and local anesthetics can be used to manage discomfort during IUD insertion. We will decide together which approach is appropriate for your specific situation.
It is important to us that your concerns about pain are taken seriously. If you have had difficult gynecological examinations in the past, are very sensitive to pain, or would simply like more control for other reasons, we will discuss this with you in detail before the procedure.
What to expect during your appointment
Quality gynecological care begins long before the examination itself. Many concerns are personal, and some may be accompanied by uncertainty or past experiences that were difficult. That is why a clear, calm process is so important.
1. First, we focus on your current concerns: What is on your mind, how long have you been experiencing symptoms, and what questions would you like to address?
2. Next, we review your medical history, cycle, potential risk factors, and any existing test results.
3. Any examinations or diagnostic steps will be explained and tailored to your specific situation.
4. We will discuss your results and potential next steps in clear, understandable terms so that you know exactly why a particular recommendation is being made.
Our practice’s goal is not to perform as many procedures as possible, but to work with you to make medical decisions that are both sound and easy for you to understand.
Preventive care, pregnancy, and health concerns – key focus areas. Pain-free IUD insertion under short-term anesthesia – what is realistic?
Gynecological preventive care
Regular screening examinations can help detect changes at an early stage. The organized cervical cancer screening program offers different examinations based on age groups. The Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) provides up-to-date information on the respective screening intervals and the procedure. Which examinations are appropriate for your personal situation should be discussed on an individual basis. At Dr. Hahn's practice, thorough gynecological preventive care is a core service. This involves more than just individual check-ups; it also covers questions regarding your cycle, health concerns, family history, and preventative goals.
Pregnancy, fertility, and family planning
During pregnancy and when trying to conceive, many questions often arise at once. The practice supports patients from early pregnancy through to postnatal care and also provides guidance on fertility and family planning. Depending on the specific needs, services may include ultrasounds, laboratory tests, cycle monitoring, or further prenatal diagnostic counseling. Dr. Hahn combines her clinical experience in obstetrics with personalized care in the practice. As a mother of two, she is familiar with many of the typical questions and uncertainties surrounding pregnancy and the postpartum period from her own experience.
Endometriosis, hormonal disorders, and menopause
Severe menstrual pain, chronic lower abdominal discomfort, cycle irregularities, or menopausal symptoms deserve a structured evaluation. In our endometriosis consultation, your symptoms are taken seriously, and potential underlying causes are assessed step by step. For hormonal issues and during menopause, the focus is also on your individual situation—including the benefits, limitations, and potential treatment options.
