New offer: The Sonata treatment

Sonata is a particularly gentle therapy method in the treatment of fibroids in the uterus. Myomas are benign muscle nodules that can form in the wall of the uterus. Around 75% of all women over the age of 40 have these fibroids. However, only about 25% of them experience symptoms. With the Sonata procedure, we can now offer a very low-complication, short and incision-free treatment method for treating the symptoms. Find out more in our video.
