Gynecology, in the simplest sense, is the science of women.
It is the branch of medical sciences that specializes in the study of female reproductive organs, such as breasts, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and vagina. The doctors specializing in this branch are called gynecologists and are experts in treating various gynecological conditions such as irregular periods, vaginal/urinary infections, uterine health conditions, and pelvic organ prolapse.
A gynecologist is a specialized doctor trained in the structure and functioning of a woman’s reproductive organs.
Most modern-day gynecologists not only specialize in the female reproductive system but also fertility. They are then called Obstetrician Gynecologists (OB-GYN). These doctors can also aid you in improving ovulation, solving physical obstructions in the fallopian tube or uterus, and helping conceive a healthy pregnancy.
Doctors specializing in either or both fields are trained in both medicine and surgery and hence capable of providing absolute solutions to regular/adverse gynecological complications.
What should I know before visiting a gynecologist?
- Research beforehand: Search the internet thoroughly and read about your symptoms and possible causes. Then, spend some time searching about the doctors, their experience, and patient reviews. This should help you prepare a list of questions to ask your gynecologist.
- Your doctor’s clinic is a safe space: We understand the hesitation around genital problems or questions. But your gynecologist’s clinic is a professional and confidential environment. Your doctor is trained in the specific organs and is bound to give you a medical opinion with complete privacy.
- Standard practice: Your doctor will use sterilized gloves and only specialized medical equipment during any physical examination.
- Legal requirements: If you are seeking the termination of an unwanted pregnancy, carry a document proving that you are 18+ years of age. You do not need approval from your partner or parent—your written consent is sufficient.
- Comfort and professionalism: If at any point you feel uncomfortable, ridiculed, or morally shamed, speak up and move on. It is neither right nor professional for a gynecologist to pass moral judgment. Gynecology visits are meant for medical advice and care, not moral evaluation.
At Total Surgicare, we ensure you have a safe, stable, and comfortable experience at all times during your gynecologist visit. Privacy and confidentiality are non-negotiable, and professionalism is maintained at the highest standard.
