Gynaecologists are doctors who specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of problems that affect the female reproductive and urological systems. They offer investigation, diagnosis and treatment for conditions such as menstrual disorders, bladder dysfunction and urinary incontinence, ovarian cysts, gynaecological cancers, endometriosis, infertility and sexually transmitted diseases. Gynaecologists also deal with aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, and many are additionally qualified in obstetrics.
The rapidly developing medical tourism sector provides women with access to high quality, competitively priced gynaecological treatment abroad, offering an alternative to lengthy waiting lists or restrictions on certain procedures at home.
