What is a Gynecologist?

A gynecologist is a medical doctor specializing in the health of the female reproductive system, which includes the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and breasts. Gynecologists are trained to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, from menstrual issues and fertility problems to cancers and infections of the reproductive system. They also play a crucial role in preventive care, offering screenings and guidance on maintaining reproductive health.
