DR. PAUL RAAS

Founder of Profemina and medical director of Clínica Profemina.

​

Gynecologist and obstetrician specialized in disorders of the menstrual cycle, menopause and endometriosis.

​

​He studied Human Medicine at the University of Leuven (Belgium) graduating "cum laude" in 1984. He completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1990 and studied Sexology and Family Sciences to obtain the "Certificate in Medical Sexology" at the same university.

He has extensive experience in the treatment of endometriosis and has developed the "micro-contactperitoneoscopy" surgical technique to study its different appearances. His work in this area has led to a greater understanding of menstruation, which is the cause of this disease. In addition, his continuous training and daily treatment in the clinic for menstrual disorders, including menopause, have also allowed him to acquire an in-depth understanding of the female hormonal system.

He was one of the first gynecologists to promote continuous taking of the contraceptive pill (without taking breaks) and to recommend that women reduce the number of cycles to prevent the development of diseases and disorders of the reproductive organs, among others.

His more than 30 years of obstetrics and gynecology practice have shown him the importance of hormone treatment for the management of menstrual disorders and menopause, as well as the prevention of cancer, cognitive decline, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis and many other problems.

His extensive experience ultimately guided him towards a more comprehensive and individualized approach to medicine, which has led to the founding of Clínica Profemina as a women's health center in 2018.
