Gynecologists Near You in Munich - Preventive Care & Holistic Care

Irregular or absent periods, acne, increased body hair, hair loss, or difficulty conceiving can all be signs of PCOS. If you are looking for support with PCOS in Munich, the focus is rarely on a single hormone level. What matters most is taking a holistic look at your symptoms, your cycle, potential metabolic changes, and your personal goals.

At our gynecology practice in Munich, we provide a structured assessment of potential hormonal causes and use these findings to develop an individualized treatment plan. This may include a detailed medical history, a gynecological examination, hormone diagnostics, ultrasound, and a targeted assessment of your glucose metabolism. If it is beneficial to involve other medical specialties, we will integrate them into your care.

What may be important to you with us

Many patients come with the wish to “finally be able to speak in peace.” We are creating the framework for exactly this: a protected conversation, clear processes and an atmosphere in which even sensitive topics can be addressed.

A gynecological consultation may be particularly beneficial if you experience:
‍
- Repeatedly long, irregular, or absent menstrual cycles or infrequent/absent ovulation
- Acne, increased body hair, or androgenetic hair loss
- Difficulty conceiving, abnormal hormone levels, or a previous suspicion of PCOS
- Questions regarding metabolism, blood sugar, or family health risks

Important: Neither being overweight nor having visible changes to the ovaries are mandatory requirements. Women of a healthy weight can also have PCOS. That is why it makes sense to look at the overall picture rather than just a single symptom.

Your gynaecologist in Munich: Services that suit your everyday life

As a gynaecologist's practice in Munich, we support you in a variety of situations: from regular preventive care to clarification of complaints to advice on specific questions. It is important to us not to use “Scheme F”, but to find out together what makes sense in your specific situation and what really bothers you.

Im Englischen heißt es Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

PCOS is now PMOS – what has changed

As of May 2026, the condition previously known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is internationally referred to as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovary Syndrome (PMOS). The new name is intended to clarify that the condition cannot be reduced to supposed "cysts" on the ovaries, but rather encompasses hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive aspects.

The change was published in The Lancet following an international consensus process. The medical recommendations of the international guidelines were not rewritten as a result of the name change alone.

In everyday German-speaking contexts and search queries, "PCOS" remains very common. For this reason, we use both terms: PCOS as the familiar search and everyday term, and PMOS as the current international designation.

PCOS Diagnosis in Munich: How the diagnosis is made

There is no single blood test or ultrasound finding that can definitively confirm a PCOS diagnosis. According to current German S2k guidelines, a modified Rotterdam definition is used for adult women. After
‍
ruling out other causes, at least two of the following three criteria must be met:
‍
- Clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism
- Ovulatory dysfunction, for example, due to repeatedly irregular or absent ovulation
- Polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound and/or a correspondingly high AMH level. An AMH level alone is explicitly not sufficient for a diagnosis.

The AWMF guideline also recommends ruling out other conditions that may cause similar symptoms.

What examinations are part of PCOS diagnostics?

A well-founded assessment involves a combination of various examinations. This is not just about individual lab values, but about the interplay between symptoms, cycle history, gynecological findings, and metabolic markers.

Consultation and cycle history

The process begins by reviewing factors such as cycle length, bleeding patterns, potential skin or hair changes, and existing medical conditions. Medications and any desire to conceive also play a role. This helps to better categorize symptoms and identify patterns over time.

Gynecological examination and ultrasound

During the gynecological examination and ultrasound, the ovaries, follicle patterns, and other gynecological findings are assessed. This helps to identify signs of PCOS while simultaneously considering other potential causes for the symptoms.

Hormone diagnostics

Depending on the individual situation, various hormone levels are tested. This primarily includes androgens as well as other relevant hormones where necessary. The goal is to detect potential hyperandrogenism and evaluate differential diagnoses.

Examination of glucose metabolism

Glucose metabolism may also be part of the diagnostic process. This can involve testing fasting glucose, HbA1c, and—depending on your personal risk profile—an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). This allows for the early detection of potential metabolic risks and helps in planning the appropriate course of action.

A common point of misunderstanding concerns "insulin resistance testing." Current S2k guidelines do not recommend specific insulin resistance parameters for routine use. Instead, it is more useful to assess carbohydrate metabolism in accordance with the guidelines. The specific examinations required for you will depend on your clinical findings and individual risk profile.

‍

Precaution: Create security before anything happens

Cycle irregularities, acne, hair loss, or increased body hair can also have other causes. For this reason, diagnosing PCOS involves not only gathering relevant findings but also specifically ruling out other conditions.

Depending on your symptoms and medical history, we may consider factors such as thyroid disorders, elevated prolactin levels, non-classical adrenal hyperplasia, primary ovarian insufficiency, or, more rarely, other hormonal conditions. We do not use a rigid, one-size-fits-all package to determine which lab tests or further examinations are necessary; instead, we decide based on your individual situation.

This is precisely why a structured assessment is so important: a single elevated androgen level, an irregular cycle, or an abnormal ultrasound result does not automatically mean you have PCOS. Our goal is to reach a diagnosis that takes your entire clinical picture into account and ensures no other plausible explanations are overlooked.

‍

Sensitive issues deserve a secure framework

PCOS often affects several areas of health simultaneously. That is why a thorough assessment goes beyond simply checking whether diagnostic criteria are met. Depending on your individual situation, we also consider factors that are important for your long-term health and your current treatment goals.

This may include your metabolism and blood pressure, skin and hair changes, fertility, psychological well-being, and the extent to which your symptoms impact your daily life. If additional care from specialists in internal medicine, endocrinology, dermatology, reproductive medicine, nutritional medicine, or psychosomatics is beneficial, we will coordinate the next steps accordingly.

Considering Fertility in Everyday Life

PCOS treatment does not follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach. What matters most is your specific symptoms, whether you are trying to conceive, any underlying factors, and what is personally important to you.

When cycle and bleeding are the primary concerns

‍If you experience irregular or absent periods, hormonal regulation may be beneficial. The right option for you depends on factors such as your symptoms, your need for contraception, potential risk factors, and your current stage of life. We will discuss the benefits, limitations, and alternatives with full transparency.

‍When acne, body hair, or hair loss are a burden

‍Hyperandrogenic symptoms can be physically and emotionally distressing. Depending on the clinical findings, hormonal, dermatological, and cosmetic approaches may be considered. It is important to first determine whether there is an actual androgen excess and whether other potential causes need to be addressed.

‍When metabolism and weight play a role

‍PCOS is not synonymous with being overweight. If metabolic risk factors are present, nutrition, regular exercise, sleep, and other medical measures can be part of your treatment plan. The goal is not a generic "PCOS diet," but a sustainable, long-term strategy that fits your individual situation.

‍When medication may be helpful

‍Depending on your treatment goals, various medications may be considered—for example, to regulate your cycle, manage hyperandrogenism, address metabolic factors, or support ovulation if you are trying to conceive. Whether a specific medication is appropriate is decided on an individual basis, taking into account your diagnosis, risks, and treatment objectives.

Fertility Support with Experience, Structure, and Personal Attention

Treatment can be beneficial even if you are not currently planning a pregnancy. It is not just about alleviating individual symptoms. Recurrent, very infrequent periods, metabolic risk factors, or distressing skin and hair changes can make long-term support a sensible choice.

The current S2k guideline recommends that, once PCOS is confirmed, carbohydrate metabolism should be assessed at the time of initial diagnosis and re-evaluated periodically based on individual risk. Blood pressure and lipid metabolism can also be relevant for risk assessment. The frequency of follow-up appointments depends on your age, clinical findings, pre-existing conditions, and personal risk factors.

For us, long-term care means regularly reviewing treatment goals, taking changes seriously, and adapting the plan to your current stage of life. What is most important today may change later—for example, shifting from cycle regulation or skin concerns to fertility goals or metabolic prevention.

Easily accessible in Munich when multiple appointments are needed

PCOS can affect fertility if ovulation occurs rarely or not at all. However, this does not mean that pregnancy is unlikely. Many women conceive spontaneously or can be supported with targeted treatment.

The first step is often to determine whether ovulation is occurring and, if so, when. Cycle monitoring using ultrasound and hormone checks can help to better track follicle maturation and ovulation.

If ovulation induction is required, current German S2k guidelines recommend letrozole as the first-line treatment for follicle maturation in women with PCOS who wish to conceive. Treatment should be monitored via ultrasound until ovulation occurs. We will determine whether this or another option is right for you based on your individual situation.

You can find more information under Fertility & Family Planning as well as on our page Fertility Treatment in Munich.

If additional reproductive medical measures become necessary, we will discuss transparently when a referral to a fertility center is appropriate.

Medically sound and personally supported

I have been a board-certified specialist in gynecology and obstetrics since 2018. I completed my residency at the Lucerne Cantonal Hospital and its network hospitals in Central Switzerland, as well as at the München Klinik Harlaching. Prior to that, I studied human medicine at the University of Regensburg and the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where I also earned my doctorate at the university's women's clinic.

From 2020 to 2025, I worked as a specialist in a Munich gynecology practice. This combination of clinical and outpatient experience shapes my approach to treating hormonal issues: I focus on careful diagnosis, clear explanations, and developing a treatment plan together that is both medically sound and personally tailored to you.

When it comes to PCOS, it is particularly important to me not to reduce your symptoms to a lab result, an ultrasound image, or body weight. My goal is for you to understand which findings are relevant, which next steps make sense, and where additional expertise can provide real added value.

Centrally located in Munich and easy to reach

If you are looking for a gynecologist in Munich for PCOS, it is often just as important that the diagnostics and any necessary follow-up care fit into your daily routine as it is to have medical expertise. A central location can be a real relief, especially when multiple appointments or cycle monitoring are required.

Our practice is located at Bayerstraße 21, 3rd floor, 80335 Munich, in the immediate vicinity of the main train station (Hauptbahnhof). S-Bahn, U-Bahn, and tram connections are easily accessible. We offer appointments Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Our services are available to private patients and self-payers.

If you already have lab results, ultrasound reports, or previous medical records, please feel free to bring them to your appointment. Notes on cycle lengths, bleeding patterns, or previous treatments can also be helpful for our assessment. Please do not stop taking hormonal medication on your own for diagnostic purposes; instead, discuss the procedure with a doctor beforehand.

If you would like to discuss symptoms, a suspected PCOS diagnosis, or existing medical reports in a relaxed setting, you can book an appointment online.

PCOS FAQ for Munich

What is the difference between PCOS, PCO, and PMOS?
‍PCOS is the term commonly used to date for polycystic ovary syndrome. Since May 2026, the international term used is PMOS, or Polycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. PCO, by contrast, primarily describes a specific appearance of the ovaries and is not automatically synonymous with the syndrome itself.

‍What symptoms might indicate PCOS?
‍Typical signs include irregular or absent periods, infrequent ovulation, acne, increased body hair, hair loss, and difficulty conceiving. Metabolic changes can also be involved. However, individual symptoms do not confirm PCOS and should be evaluated within the overall clinical picture.

‍How is PCOS diagnosed?
‍In adult women, the diagnosis is based on defined criteria. Generally, at least two of the following three areas must be present: hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphology or a corresponding AMH finding. At the same time, other potential causes must be ruled out.

‍Can I have PCOS even if I am at a healthy weight or if no typical changes are visible on an ultrasound?
‍Yes. PCOS can also occur in women of normal weight, and a typical ultrasound finding is not required in every case. The decisive factor is the overall assessment of symptoms, cycle history, clinical and laboratory findings, and, if necessary, ultrasound and AMH levels.

‍Can I get pregnant despite having PCOS?
‍Yes. Many women with PCOS conceive spontaneously or with targeted support. If infrequent or absent ovulation is affecting fertility, cycle monitoring and, depending on the findings, ovulation induction may be beneficial. The appropriate treatment is determined on an individual basis.

‍What treatment is effective for PCOS?
‍Treatment depends on your specific symptoms and goals. Depending on the situation, cycle regulation, dermatological or hormonal interventions, metabolic management, lifestyle adjustments, and—if you are trying to conceive—targeted support for follicle maturation may be appropriate. Therefore, there is no single therapy that is the same for every patient.

‍When is additional care from an endocrinologist or other specialist recommended?
‍PCOS affects more than just the menstrual cycle. Depending on the findings, involvement from internal medicine endocrinology, reproductive medicine, dermatology, nutritional medicine, or psychosomatic support may be beneficial. We involve other specialists whenever it provides a clear benefit for diagnosis or treatment.
