Question 3

When should you see a gynaecologist?

Accepted Answer

Gynaecology and obstetrics address many of the most common health concerns affecting women. For example, endometriosis affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age worldwide (around 190 million), according to the World Health Organization, and polycystic ovary syndrome can affect between 1 and 1.3 in 10 women, often without diagnosis (WHO). Consultations are also common for menstrual irregularities, fibroids, ovarian cysts, or concerns about fertility.
