Description

Gynecology is a medical specialty that focuses on the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and breasts. Gynecologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions related to the female reproductive system.

Some of the common conditions that gynecologists diagnose and treat include menstrual disorders, endometriosis, infertility, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and cervical cancer. Gynecologists also perform routine screenings such as Pap smears and breast exams to help detect early signs of cancer or other health issues.

Gynecologists may also work closely with obstetricians, who specialize in pregnancy and childbirth, to provide comprehensive care for women throughout their reproductive years. They may also collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as oncologists, urologists, and primary care physicians, to ensure that their patients receive the most appropriate care.
