Gynecology addresses the health of organs such as the uterus, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and breasts. Gynecologists manage reproductive health, sexual health, menstrual disorders, hormone-related concerns, screening for cancers, contraception, and menopausal care. The specialty sometimes overlaps with obstetrics—but gynecology specifically focuses on non-pregnancy issues.
Key Areas of Expertise in Gynecology
- Preventive Care: Routine exams, Pap smears, HPV screening, and mammograms detect problems early and help reduce cancer risk.
- Reproductive Health and Family Planning: Gynecologists guide contraception choices, fertility assessments, and interventions for infertility.
- Menstrual Disorders: Diagnosing and treating irregular periods, heavy bleeding, severe cramps, PMS, and related hormonal changes.
- Sexual Health: Managing sexual dysfunction, infections, and providing safe sexual practice education.
- Management of Menopause: Helping women navigate changes in hormone levels, bone health, and cardiovascular risks during menopause.
- Gynecologic Surgery: Addressing endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, and performing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures for faster recovery.
- Cancer Screening and Treatment: Early identification and management of cervical, ovarian, uterine, and vulvar cancers.
Common Gynecological Conditions
- Endometriosis: Abnormal tissue growth causing pelvic pain and infertility.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Hormonal imbalance leading to cycle changes, infertility, and metabolic issues.
- Fibroids: Benign uterine tumors causing bleeding and pain.
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Infection affecting reproductive organs.
- Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs with symptoms or requiring surgical intervention.
- Vaginal and Cervical Infections: Identification and treatment of sexually transmitted and non-STD infections.
Diagnostic and Treatment Advances
Gynecology leverages modern diagnostics and therapies:
- Ultrasound, MRI, and CT imaging for organ visualization.
- Colposcopy for cervical irregularities.
- Laparoscopic and robotic surgery offering smaller incisions, less pain, and rapid recovery.
- Hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms or reproductive disorders.
- Genetic screening for hereditary cancer risks.
- Minimally invasive procedures for fibroids, cysts, and endometriosis.
Tailored management plans, coordinated with nutritionists, endocrinologists, oncologists, and fertility specialists, are increasingly common.
