Gynecologists are medical experts who are specially trained in women’s health. They typically perform routine “well woman” exams and treat any range of conditions or problems that involve the female reproductive system.
Many also have expertise is obstetrics, which involves the care of pregnant women and growing fetuses. Most medical systems around the world recommend that women of childbearing age visit a gynecologist once a year for what is known as a “well woman” exam.
