FAQ's Related to Gynecologist

What does a gynecologist do?

A gynecologist is a physician who is trained in treating diseases of the female reproductive systems and providing women health care that focuses on the reproductive organs. While a general doctor can treat minor women's health problems, consultation of gynecologists is very necessary when it is related to some specific aspects of women's health. A gynecologist also cares for people having cervical, ovarian, and other reproductive cancers. Some gynecologists also work as obstetricians, who provide care in pregnancy and birth. If a gynecologist has experience in obstetrics, they are referred to as an OB-GYN. Like any doctor, a gynecologist completes medical school and then a residency.

What are the tests required before and during the consultation by a gynecologist?

Gynecologists perform the below-given tests to confirm conditions of female reproductive system:

  • Hysteroscopy
  • References
  • Additional diagnostics
  • Ultrasound
  • Colposcopy
  • Vaginal smear
  • Laboratory tests
  • Speculum examination

Sometimes a gynecologist recommends a few screening tests, to look for problems in people who show no symptoms. If women show symptoms related to their reproductive system (or gynecologic symptoms), different tests to identify the condition causing these (diagnostic procedures) might need to be done. The doctor will perform some tests to detect the condition and plan the treatment as per the test report.

When should you go to see a gynecologist?

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:

  1. Changes in menstrual flow
  2. Any lesion
  3. Painful urination
  4. Painful sex
  5. Blood in your urine
  6. Bad smelling discharge
  7. Long-lasting pelvic pain
  8. Cramps and bloating

Menstrual disorders are problems linked to a woman's menstrual cycle. These are one of the most common reasons why women need to visit their gynecologists. A small sample of the uterus is extracted to examine the abnormal cells.
