Dr Jaana Below
Obstetrician-Gynecologist
Languages spoken: Estonian, Russian, and English
As an obstetrician-gynecologist, I am fascinated by the versatility and variety this field offers. Part of my work involves monitoring pregnancies, including high-risk pregnancies. Additionally, I have been involved for years in youth counseling and the field of sexual health. My deeper interests include contraception, PCOS, PMS, and the links between mental health and gynecological issues, as well as gynecological ultrasound, particularly ultrasound diagnostics for endometriosis. I recently completed basic training as a sexual health counselor, and I plan to continue pursuing this field whenever possible. I regularly update my knowledge at professional trainings both in Estonia and abroad. In addition to my medical work, I am also active in the Estonian Sexual Health Association, where I train colleagues and professionals working with youth and children. In my free time, I try to spend time with family and friends, or find peace and quiet with a book. I also try to practice yoga and go to the gym.
