Gynaecology
What is Gynaecology?
Gynaecology is the medical specialty focused on the health of the female reproductive system, including the vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts. Gynaecologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting women’s reproductive health throughout all stages of life, from adolescence through menopause and beyond. These specialists undergo extensive training to manage a wide range of issues, from routine preventive care to complex reproductive disorders. Gynaecology works closely with obstetrics (the care of pregnant women), and many physicians practice both specialties as OB-GYNs. This comprehensive approach to women’s healthcare ensures that patients receive expert care for everything from routine examinations to specialized treatment for reproductive health conditions.
Common Gynaecological Conditions
Gynaecologists diagnose and treat numerous conditions affecting women’s reproductive health:
- Menstrual Disorders: Irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
- Reproductive Tract Infections: Bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, sexually transmitted infections
- Structural Abnormalities: Uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometrial polyps
- Hormonal Disorders: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome
- Fertility Issues: Evaluation and treatment of infertility causes
- Pelvic Floor Disorders: Urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse
- Cancers: Cervical, ovarian, uterine, and breast cancer screening and management
- Menopausal Concerns: Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, hormone replacement therapy options
