Gynecology

Gynecology
Gynecology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the health and well-being of the female reproductive system. This includes the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. Gynecologists provide preventive care, diagnose and treat conditions, and offer guidance on reproductive and hormonal health across all stages of a woman’s life.
A gynecologist specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the female reproductive system. They also offer routine and preventive care, including screenings for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and breast exams.

Functions of a gynecologist

Gynecologists use a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including:

  • Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus.
  • Ovary or Fallopian Tube Removal: Surgical removal of ovaries or tubes.
  • Cone Biopsy: Removing tissue from the uterus to test for cancer.
  • Colposcopy and Hysteroscopy: Viewing the uterus using endoscopes.
  • Cervical Biopsy: Taking tissue samples from the cervix for cancer diagnosis.
  • Pap Smears: Routine tests to detect cervical cancer.
  • Ultrasound: Examining reproductive organs.
  • Laparoscopy: Visualizing abdominal organs and removing cysts or infections.
  • Fibroid Removal: Treating uterine fibroids.
  • STI Diagnosis and Treatment: Managing sexually transmitted infections.
  • Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis: Addressing urinary issues.
  • Menstruation Disorders: Diagnosing and treating irregular periods or missed menstruation.
  • Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment: Treating cancers of the cervix, vagina, vulva, uterus, or ovaries, often in collaboration with oncologists.
