imi Preventive Care

Modern preventive medicine with imi — 
for every stage of life.

Staying healthy for life. With innovative preventive medicine and personal health strategies from imi.

Acting with foresight. Preserving a healthy quality of life.

Preventive care is not a question of age — it is a question of awareness. Knowing your body well allows you to act with foresight: not only minimising risks, but actively preserving and enhancing your quality of life. Gynaecological preventive care is therefore one of the most important pillars of women’s health — and far more than a standardised routine check.

At the heart of our modern preventive medicine at imi is a personal, comprehensive view of your health: individually adapted to your current stage of life, your hormonal situation and your own particular risk factors.

As lifestyles evolve, family planning is increasingly deferred and the age of first-time mothers continues to rise, the medical demands on preventive care grow with them — whether in the early detection of hormonal imbalances, in the prevention of chronic conditions, or in identifying early changes in the breast, the cycle or the genital tract.

At imi, we therefore bring together forward-looking diagnostics and a genuine understanding of your individual health needs. So that you are well prepared for tomorrow — and can feel confident, at every stage of life, that you are doing everything possible to protect your health.

Preventive care at imi: rigorous, proactive and genuinely empathetic.

We practise holistic women’s medicine that accompanies you through every phase of life — because we approach your health with particular attentiveness and leave no question unanswered.

The gynaecological preventive care programme at the imi Clinic in Vienna is one of the leading centres of expertise for holistic women’s medicine. Drawing on many years of experience, precise diagnostics and individualised counselling, we help you identify risks early, make sense of health changes and sustainably protect your quality of life — with rigour, empathy and a clear preventive care plan.

Preventive care reimagined — with women's medicine that evolves with you.

Modern, forward-thinking women’s medicine — oriented towards the proactive preservation of your health — goes far beyond the annual routine smear test: it should also be an individualised, dynamic approach to preventive care.

Gynaecological check-ups enjoy a generally high level of acceptance in Austria. This is a real advantage: many women attend regularly and make use of established procedures such as the PAP smear and manual examination as a matter of course. Yet contemporary preventive care has long ceased to be a mere obligatory appointment — it is a reflection of life itself: individual, evolving and personally relevant at every stage.

As lifestyles, the age at which people start families and individual risk profiles have all shifted, so too have the standards of modern preventive care. Today, procedures such as liquid-based cytology, HPV genotyping screening, tumour marker analyses, differentiated hormonal screening and fertility prognoses are just as much a part of the picture as precise ultrasound diagnostics and personalised risk assessment.

What does this mean in practice? Preventive care today is no longer a static programme but an intelligent system that adapts — to your age, your circumstances, your medical history and your goals. At imi, we therefore understand gynaecological prevention as holistic, modern partnership: one that gives women at every stage of life the confidence to trust in their health.

What modern preventive care with imi achieves — and why it matters.

The modern diagnostic methods we use at imi make it possible to detect changes far earlier and to determine individual risk profiles with far greater precision — long before any symptoms appear.

Our broad range of diagnostic capabilities includes, for example:

  • Early chlamydia screening, which can prevent undetected infections from later contributing to unfulfilled desire for a child.
  • Cycle analysis and hormonal profiling, which help to uncover hormonal imbalances — for example in cases of PMS, cycle irregularities or unexplained mood changes.
  • Tumour marker analyses and high-resolution ultrasound, which can identify subtle changes in ovarian tissue at an early stage — long before they become a threat.
  • Anti-ageing oriented prevention — such as micronutrient checks or assessment of hormonal reserve — is also increasingly becoming part of a comprehensive health strategy.

All of this makes one thing clear:

Preventive care today is a highly individualised medical early-warning system with many options — and an outstanding opportunity to take an active, proactive role in shaping your health, rather than simply monitoring it.

A lifelong focus: your health — from youth through the menopause and well beyond.

At the imi Clinic Vienna, we accompany women proactively through every stage of life — with a preventive care concept that is as individual as you are.

Whether in puberty, during the fertile years, or during and after the menopause — each phase brings its own questions, challenges and health considerations. That is why we continually adapt our preventive care concepts precisely to your stage of life and your current circumstances. In doing so, we combine medical excellence with personal care: from the early detection of gynaecological conditions and fertility prognosis through to hormonal diagnostics for menopausal symptoms.

Our goal is to build a stable health foundation with you that will serve you for many years to come — through continuous, forward-looking accompaniment with modern diagnostic technologies and treatment concepts, comprehensive patient education and an open ear for your concerns.

The imi philosophy: preventive care as active health management — with the goal of protecting your health before problems arise.

Modern preventive medicine and preventive diagnostics offer a decisive advantage: they make it possible to identify potential risks before they cause problems, and to detect physical changes early enough for therapies to be most effective.

This is precisely where our commitment at imi comes in: we do not want to react only when symptoms appear — we want to act early, so that things never reach that point. Because the better your baseline health is understood, the more precisely and personally conditions and health problems can be anticipated and avoided — ensuring your quality of life remains protected over the long term.

For us, preventive care also means: taking the time to listen to you with attentiveness and care, taking your concerns fully seriously, and developing a clear, reliable plan for your individual health journey — across many vital and fulfilling years ahead.

Preventive care that keeps pace with your life.

imi is your leading centre of expertise for modern gynaecological preventive care and comprehensive health management — individually tailored, evidence-based and with a personalised care plan for every stage of life.

At our imi Clinic in Vienna, we take a holistic view of preserving your health. We take ample time to capture, with the greatest care, your individual health and hormonal situation, your lifestyle, family risk factors and personal priorities. On this basis, we develop a tailor-made preventive care concept for you that adapts flexibly as your life evolves.

Our approach brings together precise diagnostics with attentive personal care and counselling: alongside established examinations such as the PAP smear and manual examination, we draw on a wide range of modern investigative techniques — from hormonal profiling and cycle diagnostics through high-resolution ultrasound to tumour marker testing and HPV genotyping.

Because only when all influencing factors are fully captured can we develop the optimal preventive strategy for you — one designed for long-term sustainability. So that you can live your life with the confidence that, with our support, you are doing everything possible for your health

Identifying risks with precision — and managing them with a plan.

Our many years of experience show that a great many health risks can be identified early and successfully managed using forward-looking diagnostics — long before symptoms or illness appear. This is precisely what our individualised preventive care addresses: with a concept that takes your real life into account, works preventively and supports your physical balance.

Using our comprehensive and precise diagnostic procedures, we can, for example, analyse hormonal imbalances in a targeted way, identify subtle changes in breast or ovarian tissue using high-resolution ultrasound, and precisely assess risks for chronic conditions or cycle disorders. At the same time, micronutrient checks, tumour marker analyses and cycle diagnostics can reveal your individual health burdens, reserves and potential — so that you can make informed decisions about the proactive shaping of your personal health future.

Your personal preventive care at imi: how does the assessment and care process work?

Topic 1 – Gynaecological preventive care

At imi, preventive care means more than a routine check-up. It is guided by your stage of life, your symptoms and your personal goals — from your first gynaecological examination through family planning to the perimenopause. The aim is to preserve health, identify risks early and take action in good time where needed.

The foundation of every preventive care appointment:

  • Personal discussion covering your cycle, any symptoms, your life situation and individual expectations
  • Regular check-ups, typically annual, and more frequent where needed (e.g. during hormonal transitions, for follow-up monitoring or in cases of notable findings)
  • Modern ultrasound diagnostics (pain-free imaging for assessment of the uterus, ovaries and endometrium; breast assessment where indicated)
  • Doppler ultrasound where needed (assesses blood flow and helps evaluate changes more precisely)
  • Manual examination (complements imaging, particularly in cases of pain or palpable irregularities)

Topic 2 – Cancer screening and smear tests

Cancer screening encompasses targeted smear tests, HPV testing and vaccination counselling, to identify risks early and plan individualised protective measures.

Screening and prevention:

  • PAP smear (cervical screening), or liquid-based cytology on request (a more advanced method of processing the cervical sample, often with greater diagnostic accuracy)
  • HPV test (detection of certain viruses that can cause cellular changes over time; important for individual risk assessment)
  • Vaccination counselling (assessment of whether an HPV vaccination would be a beneficial addition or booster)

Topic 3 – Infection and health checks

Infection and health checks serve the early identification and targeted treatment of infections, and the protection of long-term reproductive health.

Infection diagnostics and targeted health checks:

  • Swabs for symptomatic complaints (e.g. discharge, burning or pain, for targeted treatment)
  • Chlamydia screening (a frequently asymptomatic infection that, if untreated, can impair fertility — particularly important during the early fertile years)
  • Extended infection diagnostics for suspected fungal infection, etc. (e.g. bacterial or viral causes, depending on the situation)

Topic 4 – Hormonal and cycle diagnostics

Targeted analysis of hormonal status and cycle patterns helps identify irregularities early, investigate bleeding disorders and support women through the changes of the perimenopause.

Cycle and hormonal status analysis:

  • Blood draw on site where needed (enables prompt investigation without an additional appointment)
  • Hormonal analysis (to assess cycle function, ovulation and hormonal balance)
  • Investigation of bleeding disorders (e.g. very heavy, light or irregular periods)
  • Accompaniment through the perimenopause (a phase that often begins long before the actual menopause, frequently characterised by fluctuating hormone levels)

Topic 5 – Breast health

Targeted breast examination supports the early detection of changes and enables individually appropriate imaging investigations.

Breast screening and diagnostics:

  • Breast palpation (clinical check for palpable changes)
  • Coordination of mammography, ultrasound or MRI (depending on age, risk profile and findings)
  • Breast ultrasound in the clinic (available where needed)

Topic 6 – Early detection of structural changes

Targeted investigations identify fibroids, endometriosis and ovarian changes at an early stage, enabling structured assessment using standardised ultrasound methods and additional risk factors.

Assessment of structural changes:

  • Monitoring for fibroids (benign muscle nodules of the uterus that can cause bleeding or a sensation of pressure)
  • Indicators of endometriosis (tissue resembling the uterine lining growing outside the uterus; a common cause of pain or fertility problems)
  • Assessment of ovarian changes (cysts or other findings are evaluated in a structured manner)
  • Standardised ultrasound assessment (IOTA principle — an internationally recognised method for determining whether an ovarian finding is more likely benign or requires further investigation)
  • ROMA index where indicated (a combination of specific blood values for additional risk stratification when an ovarian finding is unclear)

Topic 7 – Preventive care with a view to a possible future desire for children

Early assessment can be valuable even without a current wish for children.

Even without a current desire to have children, an early assessment can be useful:

  • Comprehensive cycle and fertility anamnesis (enables early identification of potential risks)
  • Assessment of ovulation (establishes whether an egg is maturing regularly)
  • Ultrasound for fertility assessment (e.g. indicators of PCOS, fibroids or other changes)
  • Early detection of PCOS (a hormonal disorder with characteristic ultrasound appearance and potential cycle irregularities)
  • Recommendation of semen analysis for the partner (an important and often worthwhile early step when a child is desired)
  • Clear therapeutic steps in response to any findings (ranging from monitoring to targeted treatment)

Topic 8 – First gynaecological appointment for young women and girls

There is no fixed age for a first gynaecological appointment. An early visit can be beneficial, as some questions or concerns are easier to address when they arise.

What the first gynaecological appointment involves:

  • The focus at the outset is on getting to know one another. If preferred, the gynaecological examination itself can initially be omitted; a conversation, abdominal ultrasound and, where appropriate, a breast check are often sufficient.
  • Once a young woman becomes, or is about to become, sexually active, smear tests become important — ideally beforehand. These include the PAP smear, HPV test and chlamydia screening.
  • Counselling on the cycle, contraception and any symptoms is a central part of the appointment. The goal is a safe, trusting start to gynaecological care.

Topic 9 – Organisation and ongoing care at imi

At imi, your preventive care is structured and consistently managed: findings are documented, follow-up appointments are organised and active contact is made in cases of notable results, ensuring seamless continuity of care.

Organisation and continuous care:

  • Structured documentation of all findings (enables monitoring over many years)
  • Appointment reminder service (makes regular preventive care plannable and easy to manage)
  • Results available on request — digitally via patient portal or in writing (transparency and easy reference)
  • Active follow-up in cases of notable results (no finding goes unaddressed)
