Women's health is a medical specialty that focuses on the unique health needs and concerns of women throughout their lives. It encompasses a wide range of specialties, including obstetrics and gynecology, endocrinology, sexual health, and reproductive medicine.

 

A major focus of women's health is reproductive health.

Doctors who specialize in women's health treat conditions related to menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause, as well as fertility issues and reproductive cancers. They also provide contraceptive counseling and family planning services and help women manage conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and pelvic pain.

​

In addition to reproductive health, women's health also addresses other concerns that affect women disproportionately, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and mental health disorders. This may involve providing preventive care, such as screenings and immunizations, as well as managing chronic conditions and coordinating care with other specialists as needed.

​

Overall, the goal of women's health is to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care that supports women throughout their lives, and empowers them to take control of their own health and well-being. By working closely with patients and other healthcare professionals, women's health specialists can help to ensure that women receive the highest quality care possible, and lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
