gynaecologists
Female health doctors
Gynaecologists are doctors who specialize in the female reproductive system—the uterus, ovaries, and related organs.
They diagnose and treat conditions from menstrual disorders to cancers, and often provide routine care including contraception and prenatal screening.
The spelling is British; Americans write gynecologists.
