What is gynecology?

Gynecology, in the simplest sense, is the science of women. It is the branch of medical sciences that specializes in the study of female reproductive organs, such as breasts, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and vagina. The doctors specializing in this branch are called gynecologists and are experts in treating various gynecological conditions such as irregular periods, vaginal/ urinary infections, pregnancy, abortion, ovarian cysts, uterine health conditions, and pelvic organ prolapse.

Who is a gynecologist?

A gynecologist is a specialized doctor trained in the structure and functioning of a woman’s reproductive organs.

Most modern-day gynecologists not only specialize in the female reproductive system but also- fertility. They are then called- ‘Obstetrician Gynecologists’ (OB-GYN). These doctors can also aid you in improving ovulation, solving physical obstructions in the fallopian tube or uterus, and helping conceive a healthy pregnancy.

Doctors specializing in either or both fields are trained in both- medicine and surgery and hence capable of providing absolute solutions to regular/ adverse gynecological complications.
