Gynecology

Gynecology is a branch of medicine focused on the health and well-being of the female reproductive system. Gynecologists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various conditions and diseases affecting the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other reproductive organs.

Well-Woman Exams

Well-woman exams are routine check-ups where gynecologists assess a woman’s reproductive health. These exams typically include a pelvic examination, Pap smear, breast examination, and discussions about contraception, sexual health, and overall well-being.

Reproductive Health Issues

Gynecologists address a range of reproductive health issues, including menstrual disorders, fertility concerns, and menopausal symptoms. They provide personalized treatment plans, which may involve medications, surgery, or lifestyle modifications, depending on the diagnosis.

Obstetrics

Many gynecologists also practice obstetrics, which involves caring for pregnant women and overseeing childbirth. Obstetricians, who are often gynecologists, monitor the health of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy, provide prenatal care, and assist during labor and delivery.

Gynecological Surgery

In cases where surgical intervention is necessary, gynecologists perform procedures such as hysterectomy, ovarian cyst removal, and laparoscopic surgeries. These surgeries aim to address specific gynecological conditions and improve overall reproductive health.
