Gynae

Gynae refers to the medical specialty concerned with the health and care of women's reproductive systems. It is commonly abbreviated from the Greek word "gynaikos," meaning female.

Gynaecology, as a medical specialty, encompasses a range of topics including obstetrics, the care of pregnant women and childbirth, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the female reproductive organs.

Gynae healthcare professionals, often referred to as gynaecologists, undergo extensive training to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the female reproductive system, such as infections, cancers, and hormonal imbalances. Gynaecologists may also be called upon to perform routine check-ups and provide advice on birth control and fertility issues.

Some of the specific areas of gynae that gynaecologists may specialize in include reproductive endocrinology, which deals with hormonal disorders affecting fertility, and gynaecological oncology, which involves the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the female reproductive system.

In addition to medical care, gynae healthcare professionals may also provide education and guidance on reproductive health, including the treatment of conditions such as menorrhagia, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Gynae care is available through hospitals, clinics, and private practice settings. Women can access gynae care for routine check-ups, preventative care, and the diagnosis and treatment of specific disorders or conditions affecting their reproductive health.
