What is Gynecology?
Gynecologists are dedicated to women’s health, particularly as it relates to the female reproductive system.
A woman’s reproductive system is crucial to her overall health. That’s why creating a great relationship with a gynecologist is very important. Gynecologists have experience in treating all aspects of women’s reproductive health. Some conditions typically treated by a gynecologist include:
- Pelvic organ prolapse

- Urinary incontinence
- Vaginal infections

Most gynecologists offer some form of a women’s health exam as well. In this scenario, a general physical is given to determine the likelihood of any of these issues occurring. If you believe you are already suffering from one of these women’s health conditions, get help immediately.
