Both worlds under one roof
Dr Kerle is a reproductive medicine specialist and endocrinologist – subspecialisation at RWTH Aachen University, active in this field since 1999, many of those years at the Berlin IVF practice Drs Hannen/Kerle. Our holistic treatment stands on this foundation: naturopathy, acupuncture and bioresonance accompany you from the very beginning. You do not have to choose between conventional medicine and naturopathy – with us, both work for you. How we relate to science and complementary medicine is answered openly in our questions and answers.
Searching for and finding the causes
We speak of infertility when no pregnancy occurs after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. In a third of couples the cause lies with the woman, in a third with the man, and in the remaining couples both partners are affected. That is why we involve both partners from the very beginning.
The pressure grows with every month the pregnancy fails to arrive. Physical and emotional causes are often hard to separate. In-depth conversations are therefore just as important to us as hormone analyses and semen tests. A thorough diagnosis of your individual situation is the first step towards successful treatment.
Diagnostics in our practice
- Hormone status – blood tests on the right days of the cycle
- Cycle monitoring – ultrasound checks of egg maturation and ovulation
- Evaluation of the semen analysis (performed in an andrology practice) – the partner’s test belongs at the beginning, before further examinations of the woman
- Tubal patency test – right here in the practice. There is no need to be afraid: it is a combination of a gynaecological examination and an ultrasound scan with contrast medium. Nothing more. No surgery, no anaesthetic.
- Naturopathic case history – the in-depth conversation about your constitution and your story
- Bioresonance testing – checking for burdens and intolerances and detecting missing vital nutrients, in particular Q10, omega-3 fatty acids and NAC
Symptoms suggesting endometriosis are clarified with our cooperation partners by laparoscopy. Changes in the uterus such as polyps are removed by hysteroscopy.
Treatment – holistic medicine
The philosophy of holistic medicine is to address body, mind and soul. It is at the heart of our fertility treatment – and we respect the healing powers that lie within every person. Our guiding principle: as much as necessary, as little as possible.
- Acupuncture alongside hormone treatment, for cycle regulation and relaxation
- Homeopathy – individually chosen remedies that stimulate the body’s self-regulation
- Bioresonance to eliminate burdens and to treat scar interference fields
- Nutritional advice – because fertility begins with how the body is nourished
Treatment – conventional medicine where it is needed
Where holistic treatment alone is not enough, we draw on reproductive medicine. Dr Kerle completed her subspecialisation in reproductive medicine and endocrinology at RWTH Aachen University, has worked in this field since 1999 and spent years in a Berlin IVF clinic. In our practice we carry out:
| Method | In brief |
|---|---|
| Hormone treatment | for disorders of egg maturation, for example in PCOS |
| Hormone stimulation | targeted stimulation of egg maturation with close ultrasound monitoring |
| Insemination | prepared sperm is transferred into the uterus at the optimal time |
For the more advanced procedures we work with a specialised partner clinic. You remain our patient: preliminary examinations, preparation and follow-up care take place with us.
| Method | In brief |
|---|---|
| IVF | eggs and sperm are brought together outside the body |
| ICSI | a single sperm is injected directly into the egg |
| Cryopreservation | freezing of eggs and sperm |
| Donor insemination | treatment with donor sperm, in cooperation with a sperm bank and legal advisers |
Endometriosis – the holistic view
Textbooks define endometriosis as displaced uterine lining of unknown cause. Doctors who work holistically understand it as a disease of civilisation: the burden from environment and nutrition becomes too great for the woman concerned. Environmental chemicals with hormonal effects – pesticides, plasticisers, heavy metals – act on the nervous system, ovaries and uterus. Inadequate nutrition and a burdened gut weaken the immune system.
This is our approach: we test for burdens with bioresonance and eliminate them – with bioresonance itself or with agents that bind pollutants. We advise on nutrition because it directly influences the immune system. And we treat the pain. Our aim is not only to fulfil your wish for a child but also to relieve the suffering of women with endometriosis.
There for you – at your pace
Fertility treatment needs trust and time. With us you get both: an experienced doctor who relies on naturopathy and uses reproductive medicine where it is needed, and a practice where you are never just a number.
Legal notice: Homeopathy, acupuncture and bioresonance are complementary medical methods; their effectiveness is not generally recognised by scientific evidence.
