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.
Gynecology is the branch of medicine dealing with the health of the female reproductive system. A gynecologist is a doctor who specializes in this field. They diagnose and treat issues related to the uterus, ovaries, and vagina, perform surgeries, and provide preventive care like cancer screenings and breast exams.
Gynecology treats a wide range of conditions, including menstrual irregularities, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), endometriosis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and pelvic pain. They also manage menopause symptoms and treat reproductive cancers.
The main types include infectious diseases (like yeast infections), functional disorders (like irregular periods or infertility), structural disorders (like prolapse or fibroids), and benign or malignant tumors (cancers of the reproductive tract).
It is recommended that young women have their first visit between the ages of 13 and 15. After that, you should see a gynecologist annually for a well-woman exam. You should also book an appointment if you experience pelvic pain, irregular bleeding, discharge, or if you are planning to become pregnant.
Gynecology focuses on women’s general reproductive health when they are not pregnant. Obstetrics focuses specifically on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Most doctors are trained in both OB-GYN, but may choose to focus on just one area in their practice.
