About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Gynecology, Mammology at Charite University Hospital Berlin

According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Gynecology, Mammology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin is one of the best medical facilities in Germany in its areas of specialization! 

The department offers a full range of preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic services for women with diseases of the reproductive system and the mammary gland. The main focus is on the treatment of oncological diseases of the female genital organs and the mammary gland within specialized centers certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG). The department has accumulated significant clinical experience in the treatment of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical dysplasia, urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. The facility is developing the direction of pediatric gynecology with an emphasis on the surgical correction of congenital defects, treatment of infectious diseases (vulvitis, vulvovaginitis, and vaginitis), vaginal bleeding, labial adhesions, and ovarian cysts and tumors. A highly professional team of gynecologists and breast specialists with many years of experience takes care of women's health. The doctors pay special attention to comprehensive diagnostics, on the basis of which they create an individual treatment plan for each patient. The specialists are proud of the excellent results of their work, achieved thanks to their professionalism and state-of-the-art technical equipment.

The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Jens-Uwe Blohmer. He is well known in professional medical circles and among patients all over the world. He has been working in the field of gynecology and mammology for more than 30 years. During this time, he has performed more than 10,000 breast cancer surgeries and thousands of surgeries to treat oncological diseases of the female reproductive system. Dr. Blohmer is rightfully proud of his qualifications in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. He is the author and co-author of books and has over 260 publications in medical journals and internet resources.

Cancer of the female genital tract is treated in a multidisciplinary manner using reliable and effective therapeutic methods. The gynecologists of the department specialize in the treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, cervical, labial, and rare cancers. This direction is certified by the European Society of Gynecological Oncology (ESGO), the European Reference Network on Rare Adult Solid Cancers (EURACAN) and the German Cancer Society (DKG). Each case is considered individually and the optimal treatment tactics are developed. In most cases, the basis of therapy is surgical removal of the tumor; in advanced stages, total removal of the affected organ may be required. Whenever possible, sparing minimally invasive techniques are preferred. Depending on the specific case, the optimal set of conservative methods is selected: chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, antibody therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. In addition to ensuring high treatment efficacy, great emphasis is placed on patient comfort and maintaining a reasonable quality of life after treatment.

The department's team of gynecologists also regularly treats patients with benign conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical dysplasia, urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. The treatment of endometriosis is one of the key areas of clinical practice. This pathology develops due to the proliferation of endometrial cells outside the uterus. Patients diagnosed with endometriosis are admitted to a specialized center where specialists are highly trained in modern methods of endometriosis treatment. In the early stages of the disease, drug therapy with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and hormonal drugs is sufficient. Advanced stages of endometriosis are treated with surgical methods. In most cases, laparoscopic surgery is performed under intubation anesthesia. The extreme measure is hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). This surgical intervention is indicated for women with adenomyosis, which is the growth of endometrial tissue into the inner layers of the uterus (myometrium). An important condition for this surgery is that the woman has no reproductive plans.

The therapeutic offer of gynecology is supplemented by medical care for girls and young women with pathologies of the reproductive system. The team of pediatric gynecologists focuses on patients with genital infections, vaginal bleeding, labial adhesions, pathological lesions of genital skin, external and internal genital malformations, ovarian cysts and tumors, pubertal disorders, painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) and endometriosis in adolescents. Doctors conduct comprehensive consultations for young patients, during which they prescribe the necessary diagnostic tests and treatment measures.

The primary clinical focus of the department's mammologists is the treatment of breast cancer, including hereditary forms. Doctors work in a specialized DKG-certified Breast Center that is part of the Charite Comprehensive Cancer Treatment Center. Therapeutic options include comprehensive diagnostics, careful planning of personalized treatment, implementation of all necessary therapeutic measures (surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy), and follow-up care. In the case of mammary gland resection, modern types of plastic surgery are performed using implants and the patient's own tissues. An important part of the treatment is psychological support, as the diagnosis of cancer is always accompanied by fears and negative emotions.
