gynecologist

gynecologists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat diseases of the female reproductive system.

gynecologists perform surgeries, such as removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) and ovaries (oophorectomy) and also can provide routine care, such as pap smears or breast exams. gynecologists may also practice obstetrics (the management of pregnancy). they may further specialize in gynecologic oncology (the care and treatment of cancers of the female reproductive organs) or reproductive endocrinology (the care and treatment of infertility problems).

gynecologists are certified by the royal college of physicians and surgeons of canada.
