    Gynaecologists play a crucial role in women’s reproductive health, offering specialised medical care for the female reproductive system. So what is a gynaecologist and what do they do? These highly trained doctors focus on diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions related to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix and vagina.

    First and foremost, gynaecologists provide routine preventive care, including pelvic exams, Pap smears and breast exams, to screen for various reproductive health issues such as cervical cancer and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Regular check-ups with a gynaecologist are essential for maintaining overall reproductive health and catching any potential problems early on.
