Gynecology is a branch of medicine focused on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. It involves the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions such as menstrual disorders, infections, and reproductive system cancers. Gynecologists also manage issues related to pregnancy, fertility, and menopause. They perform routine screenings, such as Pap smears and pelvic exams, to detect early signs of health problems. Gynecology also covers family planning services, including contraceptive counseling and fertility treatments.

The field addresses hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic pain. Gynecologists are trained to provide both medical and surgical care, including procedures like hysterectomies and laparoscopies. They play a vital role in educating women about reproductive health, sexual health, and overall wellness. With a focus on preventive care, gynecologists help women maintain a healthy reproductive system throughout their lives. They collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care, from adolescence to postmenopause.
