Contraception

PERSONAL CONSULTATION

It is important for you and your partner to speak about what your sex life should be like. Only if both partners clearly express their desires and these are mutually accepted, your sex life will be fulfilling.

This understanding of intimacy, relationships and sexuality can currently be found under the term „Sex-Positivity“ . In my practice, we provide you with the best possible support and are happy to advise you on any questions you may have.

CONTRACEPTION

Of course, the joint responsibility regarding pregnancy or contraception is part of sexuality.

In the following section, we will give you an overview of different contraceptive methods and their advantages and effectiveness, measured using the Pearl Index.

Benefits and effectiveness

Every method of contraception has both advantages and disadvantages and no method is 100 percent effective.

Possible advantages result from

the ease of use and
the long-term effectiveness of a method.

The effectiveness also depends on

sufficient information,
familiarity with the method and
a conscious positive decision in favor of the respective method.

It is important for you and your partner to speak about what your sex life should be like. Only if both partners clearly express their desires and these are mutually accepted, your sex life will be fulfilling.

Of course, the joint responsibility regarding pregnancy or contraception is part of sexuality.

There is no method of contraception that is at the same time safe, available at any time, poses no problems to your health, is appropriate in every individual life situation and partnership and above all cost-effective.

Choosing your method of contraception highly depends on your personal life circumstances and an individual evaluation of pros and cons.

HOLIDAY PERIOD

During holiday times, coverage for urgent concerns is provided by all contract-based group practices and joint gynecology and obstetrics clinics across Vienna — with no closing days, depending on availability.

IMPORTANT:
When registering at another clinic, please make sure to mention "VACATION COVERAGE" before inserting your e-card.

E-PRESCRIPTION

From July 1st 2023, medicines covered by public insurance in Austria can be sent via e-prescription (independent of ELGA).

All persons insured in Austria can pick up their medication with a health insurance e-prescription at any Austrian pharmacy - but not at web/online pharmacies! Private prescriptions cannot be sent - they have to be collected at the practice.

Seit 1. Juli muss die e-card 1x pro Quartal in der Ordination gesteckt werden, damit das eRezept für 90 Tage zur Benutzung freigeschaltet ist.

Lab tests - procedure

After we received and checked the results we proceed as follows:

1. In case of an urgent result that is subject to treatment we contact you actively and communicate the necessary steps (therapy, appointment, prescription, ...).

2. If you have not heard of us within 2 weeks, you can be assured that your results do not require any further medical clarification or treatment. In this case, even if the result deviates from the reference range, we offer you to ask within your next regular appointment.

Currently we are not able to answer your e-mails regarding that matter due to high influx of e-mails. We kindly ask you for your understanding. THANK YOU.
