Gynaecology is the study of women's reproductive system and the various disorders that are associated with it. There are numerous cases of gynecological injuries and illnesses occurring every year that can be attributed to plain medical negligence in this field. Gynecologists deal with various health conditions that are associated with the female reproductive system and its different parts, i.e. the vagina, the uterus and the ovaries. A closely related but different field is obstetrics, which deals with pregnancy, child birth, puerperium (post partum period) and child care. Although traditionally the role and duties associated with obstetrics have been handled by midwives, at present a doctor who is a gynecologist is also an obstetrician at the same time.

Women can face a wide range of gynecological problems, such as irregular or abnormal periods, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, cancerous growths and fibroids. Although speaking about such issues can be somewhat embarrassing for any individual, it is important that a patient develops a trusting relationship with her doctor and disclose all health symptoms she is facing. This will help in diagnosing all types of ailments at their beginning stages and facilitate in taking preventive measurements.

There are a number of health conditions which needs regular medical checkup, such as urinary inconsistency, abnormal periods, infertility and menopause. A certified gynecologist can offer advice regarding different types of health conditions as well as guide a woman about pregnancy-related matters such as diet, exercising, what to expect, ways to relieve the symptoms of pregnancy, sex during pregnancy as well as offer counsel on pain management. Even though a woman might think at times that giving birth is a difficult thing to do, a gynecologist can serve as a friendly guide to resolve all your queries and make you understand that it is not too difficult an ordeal to go through.

There are many hospitals that are dedicated to gynaecology and child care. It is important to choose your hospital carefully, as the general environment of a hospital can affect the mind of both the mother as well as her child. The hospital facility should be adequately filled with good doctors and medical staff for the caring of the patients. The ambience of the hospital should also be bright and cheerful, as this helps to cheer up a young patient.
