What Is Gynecology?
Gynecology is the medical specialty that focuses on the health and function of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. Gynecologists also provide preventive care, screenings, fertility evaluations, and management of both common and complex women’s health conditions to promote overall wellness.
