A gynecologist is a doctor who specializes in women’s reproductive health. They diagnose and treat issues related to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina.

You should visit a gynecologist if you experience:

• Irregular or painful periods
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Unusual vaginal discharge or infections
• Pelvic pain or discomfort
• Difficulty getting pregnant
• Symptoms of menopause
• Any concerns about reproductive health

Some common gynecological surgeries include:

• Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
• Myomectomy (removal of fibroids)
• Ovarian Cyst Removal
• Tubal Ligation (permanent birth control)
• Endometrial Ablation (to reduce heavy periods)
• Laparoscopy for Infertility & Endometriosis

Most surgeries are performed under anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. After surgery, pain is usually mild to moderate and can be managed with medications.

Recovery depends on the type of surgery:

• Minimally invasive surgeries (laparoscopy, hysteroscopy) – 1 to 2 weeks
• Major surgeries (hysterectomy, myomectomy) – 4 to 6 weeks

Your doctor will provide post-surgery care instructions for a smooth recovery.

Some surgeries, like myomectomy or laparoscopic procedures, can improve fertility. However, surgeries like hysterectomy or tubal ligation result in permanent infertility. Talk to your doctor about fertility-preserving options if needed.

• Hysterectomy: Removes the uterus, used for cancer, fibroids, or severe bleeding.
• Myomectomy: Removes only fibroids while keeping the uterus intact, preserving fertility

Yes, most gynecological surgeries are safe, especially when performed by experienced specialists. Minimally invasive procedures reduce risks and speed up recovery.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions about eating, drinking, and medications.
• Arrange for someone to assist you after surgery.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol before surgery for better healing.

Many gynecological surgeries are covered by health insurance, especially if they are medically necessary. Check with your insurance provider for details on coverage and costs.

Women should start visiting a gynecologist between ages 13-15 for general reproductive health guidance. Regular check-ups become more important after 18 or when sexually active.

It depends on the type of surgery. Doctors usually recommend waiting 4 to 6 weeks before resuming sexual activity. Always follow your doctor’s advice for safe healing.

You may need surgery if you experience:

• Chronic pelvic pain
• Heavy or prolonged periods
• Difficulty getting pregnant
• Fibroids, cysts, or tumors
• Abnormal bleeding or discharge

Minimally invasive surgeries, like laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, use small incisions instead of open surgery. They result in less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.
