Why does gynecologist helps? Women face a lot of issues that can turn from bad to worse early on if adequate medical attention is not sought.

From puberty, menarche, breast development, pregnancy to menopause, significant diseases affect women. Each of such diseases are managed by a health professional known as a Gynecologist.

Starting from maturity when the reproductive organs mature, women are advised to have an annual or at least 3 yearly health check with a gynaecologist. Awareness of basic bodily functions and maintaining good physical and mental wellbeing are all vital aspects of managing women health. This is a task performed skilfully by these type of doctors.

* Birth control: Sexually active females need to be advised about birth control and the need to prevent various diseases such as herpes, HIV, gonorrhoea, syphilis etc, and unwanted pregnancies.
* Preventive care: Every women needs to be counselled regarding healthy lifestyle practices to maintain good health during puberty, pregnancy and old age to prevent various diseases and cancers affecting each age group.
* Clinical breast examination: Although monthly self-examination of breasts are advised, a regular check-up from a trained professional can help identify what is unknown.
* Pelvic examination: Most women panic on abnormal discharges such as blood during non-menstrual days, white discharges, curdy discharges etc. Many women notice lumps and swellings in their private areas. Such notices can create huge panic in women. Having a gynecologist identify red flags of any disease is very important and hence regular clinical pelvic examinations are very essential.
* Vaccination: Annually, a visit to the gynaecologist is recommended for getting the vaccination shots. HPV vaccinations reduce the risk of certain cancers such as cervical, vulvar, oral, vaginal and anal cancers. And other regular vaccinations such as flu-shots prevent influenza viral illnesses.
* Sexual health. Perhaps a gynaecologist is the only professional a female can freely discuss the issues pertaining to her sexual life and well-being. Hence periodic follow-up with a gynecologist will help establish a rapport to discuss awkward yet vital aspects of sexual health and seek immediate remedy.

Gynecologists and obstetricians play a vital role in a woman’s health, which is why it’s important that she finds one she can trust and partner with to care for her specific needs.

A gynecologist specializes in the medical care of women and their reproductive system whereas an obstetrician focuses on the health of a mother and her baby during pregnancy, birth and post-natal care.

A woman may choose to see a physician known as an OB/Gyn, which is an acronym for physicians who specialize in obstetrics and gynecology.
