A gynecologist is a doctor who specializes in women's reproductive organs. Gynecologists are actively involved in overseeing women's health and healthcare. While a general physician might be able to treat minor women's health issues, the opinions of gynecologists are necessary when it is related to certain aspects of women's health. They work closely with an obstetrician during pregnancy. The doctors certified in both obstetrics and gynecology are called OB/GYN doctors. The doctors also work in private clinics, hospitals, and specialty clinics. Most of them work in partnership with other medical experts. Some also become educators for medical students studying gynecology.

Sometimes a gynecologist recommends a few screening tests, to look for problems in people who show no symptoms.

The doctor will perform some tests to detect the condition and plan the treatment as per the test report.
A visit to the gynecologist is generally recommended for the annual screening and when a woman shows symptoms like vulvar, pelvic, and vaginal pain and abnormal bleeding in the uterus. Other signs you need to visit a gynecologist include:
