Gynecology

Meaning

The medical specialty concerned with the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and breasts, and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting these organs. This discipline encompasses a wide range of care, from routine preventative screenings and hormonal health management to surgical intervention. It is fundamentally intertwined with endocrinology, as reproductive health is exquisitely regulated by a complex hormonal axis.
