According to a recent Ipsos study, around 31% of women worldwide consult a gynaecologist at least once a year. And for good reason: regular gynaecological examinations are one of the most important measures for maintaining female health – whether for preventative care, acute complaints or as part of early cancer detection.
At the Vienna Private Clinic (WPK), you can expect a holistic gynaecological service that combines medical excellence with individual care. Our experts will support you at every stage of your life – personally, discreetly and in line with the latest scientific findings.
What is gynaecology?
Gynaecology is the medical speciality that deals with the health of the female reproductive organs as well as hormonal and sexual health issues. This includes regular check-ups (e.g. Pap test), the treatment of infections or menstrual cycle disorders, as well as complex interventions for benign or malignant diseases of the uterus, ovaries or vagina.
A particular focus of gynaecology is the early detection and treatment of cancer. These include, among others:
- Uterine cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Vaginal carcinomas
- Tumours of the fallopian tubes

Obstetrics or gynaecology – what’s the difference?
