FAQ's Related to Gynecologist

When should I go to the gynecologist?

You should go to the gynecologist for check-ups, annual screenings (like Pap Smears), irregular menstruation, pelvic pain, to discuss infertility, to get pregnancy care, menopause, or if you have other abnormal symptoms related to reproductive health.

What conditions are treated by a gynecologist?

Gynecologists treat several conditions, including:

Menstrual disorders (heavy periods, irregular periods)
Fibroids & ovarian cysts
Endometriosis
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Infertility
Menopause symptoms
Gynecologic cancers (in conjunction with oncologists)

How often should women go to a gynecologist?

What is the difference between a gynecologist and an obstetrician?

A gynecologist focuses on women's reproductive health. Inversely, an obstetrician focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, and care after the baby is born; many doctors practice as OB-GYNs (meaning they do both obstetrics and gynaecology).
