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 love discovering new things and trying different activities. One of my latest passions has been yoga — it helps develop concentration, mindfulness, supports emotional balance, and brings a sense of harmony. I am an admirer of fiction literature. I was especially impressed by Rebecca Kuang’s trilogy The Poppy War — a profound yet complex story that makes one reflect on the cost of war and power decisions. The book captivates with its scale and the painful truth about human nature. While I don’t consider myself a big movie fan, I truly value Denis Villeneuve’s works. His films impress with atmosphere, depth, and visual beauty. Each piece creates a special space for reflection and allows immersion into a world where aesthetics and philosophy intertwine."

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."
