What Does a Gynecologist Do?
A gynecologist covers all aspects of your reproductive health, including:
- Preventive care
- Birth control options
- Testing for and treatment of sexually transmitted infections
- Management of menopause and menstrual issues
Some gynecologists also have specific subspecialties and are better equipped to deal with particular health issues, such as pelvic floor dysfunction or endometriosis. Your provider can recommend treatments that help you feel better and understand your body’s needs.
