Gynecology

What is gynecology?

Gynecology is the medical field that manages women’s sexual and reproductive health. The female reproductive tract includes several organs of its own, but gynecology also provides care for secondary sexual characteristics like your breasts. 

Reproductive organs that your gynecologist can assess and treat include:

• Vagina
• Vulva
• Cervix
• Uterus
• Fallopian tubes
• Ovaries

While your gynecologist can evaluate, diagnose, and treat conditions related to these organs, their expertise doesn’t stop there. 

Your gynecologist can also help with birth control prescriptions and management, long term birth control options, fertility issues, sexual dysfunction, and certain conditions related to your hormones or psychological health.
