Gynaecology is the care of the female reproductive system including contraception, the investigation and treatment of menstrual problems, sexual problems, infertility, problems relating to the menopause, and disorders such as uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. It also covers early pregnancy problems such as recurrent miscarriage. Gynaecological care not only includes the diagnosis and treatment of problems and diseases of the female organs, but also focuses on education and preventative measures for women of all ages.
