Gynaecology
Gynaecology is a medical specialty that focuses on the overall health and well-being of the female reproductive system throughout various stages of life. Gynaecologists are specialised doctors who address a wide range of women’s health issues beyond just pregnancy and childbirth. They offer expert care for conditions like menstrual disorders, fertility problems, pelvic pain, uterine and ovarian disorders, and breast abnormalities. Gynaecologists perform regular check-ups, screenings, and diagnostic procedures to maintain and improve women’s reproductive health and overall quality of life.
The main difference between gynaecology and obstetrics is that gynaecology deals with non-pregnancy related aspects of women’s health, while obstetrics focuses on providing care for pregnant women, managing childbirth, and the postpartum period. While both specialties are closely related and often practiced together, gynaecologists mainly focus on preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment of women’s reproductive health concerns beyond the scope of pregnancy and childbirth.
