Gynecology is the branch of medical science dedicated to the health of the female reproductive system. It encompasses a woman’s entire lifespan, from the onset of puberty (menarche) through the reproductive years and into menopause and post-menopause. While often paired with Obstetrics, which focuses explicitly on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, Gynecology deals primarily with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting the reproductive organs. A physician specializing in this field is known as a Gynecologist.
To understand gynecological health, it is essential to know the anatomy involved. The system is located in the pelvis and consists of internal and external structures.
Gynecologists manage a broad spectrum of conditions, ranging from routine preventive care to complex surgeries. The field is often divided into sub-specialties to address specific health needs:
Gynecological health is deeply interconnected with a woman’s overall well-being. Hormonal fluctuations can affect bone density, heart health, and mental state. Furthermore, many gynecological conditions, such as cervical cancer, are highly preventable or treatable if detected early through routine screening. Therefore, the relationship between a woman and her gynecologist is often one of the most critical long-term medical relationships she will have.
Gynecological symptoms can be subtle or severe, and they often vary depending on the woman’s age and hormonal status. While some symptoms are a normal part of the menstrual cycle, others serve as critical warning signs of underlying pathology. Open communication about these symptoms is vital for accurate diagnosis.
At Liv Hospital, we believe that empowerment begins with understanding. While cancer is a complex disease with no single cause, our knowledge of contributing risk factors is constantly growing. We recognize that a combination of factors from genetic predispositions to lifestyle choices and environmental influences plays a role in its development. Our approach is proactive and personalized. The dedicated experts at Liv Hospital work with you to assess your individual risk profile and provide compassionate, practical guidance on lifestyle modifications. We partner with you to transform awareness into action, helping you take meaningful steps to safeguard your long-term health and well-being.
The causes of gynecological disorders are multifactorial, involving hormones, genetics, and infections.

Modern gynecology relies on a combination of regular screening and advanced imaging to detect issues early. At Liv Hospital, we emphasize a proactive diagnostic approach, ensuring that screenings are comfortable and accurate.
Sometimes, the only way to diagnose a condition is to look directly inside.
If cancer is diagnosed, “staging” determines the extent of the spread, which dictates treatment. Gynecologists use the FIGO Staging System.
Gynecologic treatment has moved away from “open” surgeries toward minimally invasive techniques and personalized medical management. The goal is to preserve fertility whenever possible and minimize recovery time.
Many conditions can be managed without surgery.
At Liv Hospital, we prioritize endoscopic surgery.

Gynecological health is intimate. It requires a setting that offers privacy, trust, and the highest medical standards. Liv Hospital’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is designed to support women at every stage of life, from their first exam to childbirth and beyond into menopause.
We treat the woman, not just the reproductive system.
At Liv Hospital, we are committed to empowering women with knowledge and providing world-class medical care that respects your body and your choices.
While often the same doctor (OB-GYN), the specialties differ:
Current guidelines generally recommend starting Pap smear screenings at age 21, regardless of when sexual activity began. The test screens for pre-cancerous cells on the cervix. After age 30, it is often combined with HPV testing.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths of the uterine muscle. They are very common. Not all fibroids need treatment; many are small and symptomless. Treatment (such as medication or surgery, like myomectomy) is usually recommended only if they cause heavy bleeding, pain, or fertility issues.
PCOS is a hormonal imbalance. Common symptoms include:
Endometriosis is a chronic, painful condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus (often on the ovaries, bowel, or bladder). This tissue bleeds during menstruation but has no way to exit the body, causing inflammation, severe cramps, scarring, and often infertility.
