A gynecologist is a medical doctor who specializes in women's health, particularly the female reproductive system. This includes the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases affecting the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and breasts. Gynecologists provide care through various stages of a woman's life, from adolescence through menopause and beyond.
Preventive Care: Conducting routine examinations, including Pap smears, breast exams, and pelvic exams to detect early signs of health issues.
Diagnosis and Treatment: Managing conditions such as menstrual disorders, infertility, endometriosis, pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, and uterine fibroids.
Pregnancy and Childbirth: Some gynecologists are also obstetricians, specializing in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care, providing comprehensive prenatal care and delivering babies.
Gynecologists play a pivotal role in maintaining women's health and ensuring they receive specialized care tailored to their unique needs.
