Gynaecology
Gynaecology is a medical specialty that focuses on the health and diseases of the female reproductive system. It encompasses the comprehensive examination, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and breasts. Gynaecologists, specialists within this field, employ a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities to address reproductive health concerns, such as menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, pregnancy-related complications, and gynaecological malignancies. Additionally, gynaecology extends its purview to encompass preventive care, family planning, and the management of hormonal and menopausal transitions. This medical discipline plays a pivotal role in promoting and maintaining the reproductive well-being of women throughout various stages of life.
