Gynekologiske

Gynekologiske refers to aspects related to gynecology, which is the branch of medicine that deals with the health of the female reproductive system, including the vagina, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and breasts. A gynecologist is a medical doctor who specializes in this field.

Gynecological care typically begins in adolescence and continues throughout a woman's life. Routine check-ups, often called well-woman exams, are a cornerstone of gynecological health. These exams usually include a pelvic exam, a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer, and a clinical breast exam. Gynecologists also provide family planning services, including contraception and counseling.

Beyond preventive care, gynecologists diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the female reproductive system. These can include menstrual irregularities, pelvic pain, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, sexually transmitted infections, and menopausal symptoms. They also manage pregnancies, deliveries, and postpartum care, though obstetricians often specialize specifically in these areas. Gynecological examinations and treatments are an integral part of maintaining women's overall health and well-being.
