Gynecology Health and Treatments
A doctor that focuses on gynecology – also known as a gynecologist – targets a woman’s overall health, especially as it relates to her reproductive system. That’s why creating a great relationship with a gynecologist is very important from the time of your first period. Gynecologists have experience in treating all aspects of your reproductive health.
Sometimes, but not always, gynecology is practiced alongside obstetrics – and doctors who provide both are known in shorthand as OBGYNs. There is also, quite often, some overlap in their services.
