A gynecologist is a doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating gynecological problems in women of different ages. Due to the nature of this specialty, a long-term doctor-patient relationship often develops, with patients visiting the same doctor for many years. At Meliva, gynecologists monitor and manage women’s health broadly, collaborating with other specialists as needed.
When to consult a gynecologist:
- Planning and monitoring pregnancy
- Preventing pregnancy (e.g., oral contraceptives, insertion and removal of hormonal IUDs)
- Gynecological infections
- Painful, heavy, or irregular menstruation
- Menopause symptoms
- Prevention and diagnosis of gynecological tumors
- Lower abdominal pain in women
- Female urinary incontinence
It is advisable for girls to visit a gynecologist for the first time during their teenage years or early adulthood. Subsequently, annual check-ups are generally recommended.
