Many gynecological procedures – like hysterectomy or breast surgery – are performed too early or unnecessarily.
A second opinion helps you make a safe, informed decision.
German health data and clinical experience show:
A significant number of gynecological procedures are performed too early – or without exploring safer alternatives first.
Common issues include:
Hysterectomy recommended for fibroids, even when medication or myomectomy could help
Laparoscopy advised for endometriosis without testing hormonal therapies first
Breast surgery suggested too quickly, without second imaging or genetic risk evaluation
The result?
Women often face life-changing surgery without understanding their full range of options – or whether surgery is truly necessary.

"I asked for a second opinion regarding a heart condition (mild mitral valve regurgitation and high blood pressure). The cardiologist from AskGermanDoc provided a detailed review of my case and suggested a change in medication – plus recommended further diagnostic testing that hadn’t been considered before. The process was fast, clear, and very professional. I finally feel like I have a treatment plan that really fits my case." Johan M., 61, Rotterdam
"I was scheduled for lumbar spine surgery due to chronic back pain and a suspected disc herniation (L5-S1). Before going through with it, I submitted my case to AskGermanDoc. The German specialist reviewed my MRI and concluded that conservative treatment was still a valid option. Thanks to that second opinion, I avoided surgery – and after 3 months of physiotherapy, my symptoms improved significantly. I’m incredibly relieved and thankful." David H., 47, Manchester
