Gynecology

Gynecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth.

Gynecology is the medical specialty focused on women’s reproductive health, covering the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and breasts. It addresses menstrual disorders, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, infections (STIs/UTIs), and menopause management. Key procedures include Pap smears, pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and hysteroscopies for diagnosis and treatment. Gynecologists also provide contraceptive counseling, fertility evaluations, and prenatal care (often overlapping with obstetrics). They perform surgeries like hysterectomies, laparoscopies, and treatment for gynecologic cancers. Preventive care, including HPV vaccinations and cancer screenings, is a cornerstone. The field empowers women through lifespan care, from adolescence to postmenopause.
