Gynecology is a branch of medicine that deals with the health of the female reproductive system. This includes the vagina, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and breasts. Gynecologists are doctors who specialize in this area of medicine. They diagnose and treat a variety of conditions affecting the female reproductive system, including:
- Pelvic pain
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Infertility
- Endometriosis
- Ovarian cysts
- Cervical cancer
- Breast cancer
When to See a Gynecologist
Most women should see a gynecologist for the first time between the ages of 13 and 15. This is a good time to start talking about your sexual health and to get a Pap test. You should also see a gynecologist if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Pelvic pain
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Itching or burning in the vagina
- Painful urination
- Vaginal discharge
- Swollen or tender breasts
- Any changes in your menstrual cycle
What to Expect at Your Gynecological Exam
Your first visit to a gynecologist will typically include a discussion of your medical history, a physical exam, and a Pap test. The physical exam will include a pelvic exam, which is a way for your doctor to check your vagina, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The Pap test is a way to screen for cervical cancer.
If you have any questions or concerns about your gynecological health, be sure to talk to your doctor.
