FAQ's Related to Reproductive Endocrinologist

What does a gynecologist do?

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. 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 diagnose conditions related to female reproductive systems:

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

Irregular periods are a sign that the body is not working normally. You have regular periods unless you are breastfeeding, pregnant, postmenopausal, or suffer from a medical condition that can cause your periods to halt. Irregular and painful periods might be signs of serious health issues. The doctor can help you to help get your periods regular.
