At the Dr. Dong Clinic in Geneva, women’s health is approached in a holistic and personalized manner. Depending on your situation, our practitioners can offer additional support related to your menstrual cycle, fertility, pregnancy, the postpartum period, or menopause.
Address these topics with discretion and a personalized approach
Needs change throughout the different stages of life: menstrual cycles, planning a pregnancy, pregnancy, the postpartum period, or the transition to menopause. The goal of the consultation is first to understand your situation and your symptoms, and then to guide you toward the most appropriate approach. Traditional Chinese medicine enriches medical care by offering a complementary approach that takes into account other aspects of health and the care continuum. It works in conjunction with medical, gynecological, or obstetric care.
At the Dr. Dong Clinic in Geneva, complementary approaches may be offered to help improve comfort and quality of life, always in conjunction with oncological care and taking into account ongoing treatments.

Do I need a diagnosis before making an appointment?
It isn't always necessary. However, when a symptom requires medical advice, an evaluation, or gynecological follow-up, your doctor may recommend that you see the appropriate healthcare professional at the same time.
Can acupuncture replace my gynecological care?
Traditional Chinese medicine offers a complementary perspective on health by addressing aspects that conventional medical care does not always directly address. It thus becomes an integral part of the care pathway, complementing medical, gynecological, or obstetric care when necessary.
Can I see a doctor during pregnancy?
Absolutely. Traditional Chinese medicine can be incorporated into the pregnancy journey as a complementary approach, taking into account each stage and the specific needs of the expectant mother. These sessions can help alleviate certain common discomforts of pregnancy, such as nausea, digestive issues, tension, or pain, as well as promote relaxation and overall well-being. Care is tailored to the stage of pregnancy and each patient’s individual situation. It is intended to complement medical and obstetric care, which remains essential throughout pregnancy.
How can you tell which method is best?
You don't have to choose on your own. During the consultation, we'll assess your situation and determine whether acupuncture, herbal medicine, reflexology, or another approach might be right for you.
