Gynecological care for female athletes

Providing gynecological care to (elite) athletes is a relatively new area of focus within gynecology and encompasses far more than just hormonal management for female athletes.

Attention is also given to:

questions about sports and pregnancy
the discomforts in the perineum that can be sport-specific (e.g. in female cyclists)
the best timing for training/competitions according to the menstrual cycle

Scientific studies have shown that the menstrual cycle can have an effect on sports performance and the risk of sports injuries in women, but there are still major individual differences. This effect can be very important, especially for top athletes, and can mean the difference between winning or losing an important match or championship. Dr Vloeberghs is committed to provide a customized approach for each athlete, with attention to her specific questions and needs.

For her, the following pillars are essential for a successful trajectory:

a personal approach
to guarantee quality care
to provide the necessary support
