ginekologij

Ginekologij is the branch of medicine that deals with the health of the female reproductive system. This includes the organs such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. A medical doctor specializing in gynecology is called a gynecologist.

Gynecologists provide a range of services focused on women's reproductive health. These services include routine check-ups, screenings for reproductive cancers like cervical and ovarian cancer, and management of conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). They also offer advice and treatment for issues related to menstruation, fertility, contraception, and menopause. Gynecologists are key in providing prenatal care during pregnancy and delivering babies.

The field of gynecology often works closely with obstetrics, the branch of medicine concerned with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Together, they form obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), a specialty that covers a broad spectrum of women's health throughout their lives. Regular visits to a gynecologist are important for early detection of potential health problems and for maintaining overall reproductive well-being.
