Copenhagen launches new advice service for women's health

Women in Copenhagen can access a new advice service for health issues. The sexual health organization Sex og Samfund launched the program on October 21st. The service receives support from regional healthcare in Copenhagen.

It targets women living in Region Hovedstaden. This area includes Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, and surrounding municipalities. You can get advice on painful periods, menopause, pregnancy, and sexual health. It also covers pelvic discomfort, intercourse pain, and postpartum issues.

Healthcare professionals conduct the individual consultations. They ask about your symptoms and discuss your next steps. They guide you toward appropriate medical care. Meetings take place in person in Copenhagen, over the phone, or online.

This service provides advice only. It does not give a medical diagnosis. It cannot replace medical examinations or treatment. It helps you understand if you need further medical help.

Majbrit Berlau is the general secretary of Sex og Samfund. She stated that far too many women live with pain. She stressed that women deserve support when something feels wrong.

You can call 33 13 91 13 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Phone lines open from 4pm to 6pm. You can also book appointments online through the Sex og Samfund website.
