Gynaecology is the medical speciality concerned with women’s health at every stage of their lives.
It examines and cares for the female reproductive system, monitoring the menstrual cycle, hormonal balance, sexual health and pregnancy, as well as any conditions that may affect the ovaries, uterus, cervix or breasts.
The aim of gynaecology is to provide comprehensive prevention, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, so that every woman feels healthy, safe and well-informed about her body.
