A gynecologist takes care of all the women’s health issues from teenage to menopause while providing treatment for abnormal periods, early menopause, fibroids, endometriosis, infertility, etc.
When to visit Gynecologist?
Gynecologists are experts that specialize in women’s health. Moreover, they deal with obstetrics, pregnancy, childbirth, menstruation and reproductive disorders, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), hormone imbalances, and other issues. Additionally, many women begin seeing a gynecologist as early as adolescence and continue to visit a clinic for general health concerns. Ladies should see a gynecologist at least once a year for a checkup. Also, whenever they have symptoms that concern them.
