Gynecology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the female reproductive system, including the diagnosis and treatment of conditions and diseases related to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and breasts. Gynecologists are medical doctors who specialize in women's health, including performing annual exams, Pap smears, and screenings for sexually transmitted infections. They also provide prenatal care, manage menstrual issues, and treat conditions such as endometriosis, infertility, and menopause. Gynecologists may also perform surgeries such as hysterectomies, ovarian cyst removals, and tubal ligations. Overall, gynecology plays a crucial role in helping women maintain good reproductive health and overall well-being.
