The specialists under Prof. Wallwiener at the Endometriosis Center of the Women’s Clinic in Tubingen try to dispel the concerns of the women by providing the best care possible. Hence, on the one hand, the University Women’s Clinic in Tubingen is able to point out their extensive experience in the area of the surgical treatment of endometriosis and, on the other hand, there is close collaboration with other specialist fields in order to be able to respond to possible complications such as pain or an unfulfilled desire to have children.

Not just endometriosis can represent a cause of infertility. At the Fertility Center of the Women’s Clinic in Tubingen, the specialists under Prof. Wallwiener in Tubingen probe the causes of infertility. Using the most advanced therapeutic techniques, the desire to have children can be fulfilled for many couples, for example, by means of artificial insemination.
