Tell us about your professional interests other than your specialization:

• "I pay special attention to endocrine gynecology and pediatric/adolescent gynecology. My approach is based on supporting women through different stages of life — from the first menstruation to menopause, including the stage of pregnancy planning."

Hobbies, favorite movies, books:

• "I like to discover new things and try different ways to spend my free time. I am a connoisseur of fiction. I was particularly impressed by Rebecca Kwan's series "The Poppy War" - a deep and at the same time difficult story that makes you think about the price of war and power decisions. The book captivates with its scale and painful truth about human nature. Although I do not consider myself a big movie buff, I really appreciate the work of Denis Villeneuve. His films are striking in their atmosphere, depth and visual beauty. Each film creates a special space for reflection and allows you to immerse yourself in a world where aesthetics and philosophy are combined."

Doctor's advice:

• "Take care of your women’s health at every stage of life. Visit your gynecologist regularly even if you have no complaints, undergo the recommended screening examinations (Pap smear, ultrasound, STI tests), ensure reliable contraception and timely pregnancy planning. During menopause, do not ignore bodily changes — they require attention and correction. It is also essential to care for your psycho-emotional state, because health is not only the absence of disease but also the quality of life, energy, and self-confidence."
