gyn
Cervix exam specialty
Gyn is an informal shortening of gynecologist or gynecology, referring to the medical specialty focused on the female reproductive system.
It appears most often in the compound ob-gyn (obstetrician-gynecologist), a doctor who handles both pregnancy and general reproductive health.
I have an appointment with my gyn next week.
The term is casual and typically used in everyday conversation rather than formal medical contexts.
