gynecologists
Female health specialists
Gynecologists are doctors who specialize in the female reproductive system—the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and related organs.
They diagnose and treat conditions ranging from menstrual disorders to cancers, and most also practice obstetrics (delivering babies).
Women typically see a gynecologist annually for preventive care: My gynecologist recommended a pap smear.
