Gynecology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and breasts. It deals with a wide range of conditions, from menstrual disorders to pregnancy-related issues and reproductive cancers.

Common Conditions & Disorders

  • Menstrual Disorders – Irregular, heavy, painful, or absent periods (e.g., PCOS, endometriosis).
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Hormonal disorder causing irregular periods, weight gain, and infertility.
  • Endometriosis – Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and fertility issues.
  • Uterine Fibroids – Non-cancerous growths in the uterus leading to heavy bleeding and pelvic pain.
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – Infection of the reproductive organs, often due to STIs.
  • Cervical Dysplasia – Abnormal cells in the cervix, which can lead to cervical cancer.
  • Ovarian Cysts – Fluid-filled sacs in or on the ovary, sometimes causing pain.
