Gynaecology, also spelled gynaecology, is a medical specialty that deals with the health of a woman's reproductive system. Almost all modern obstetricians are also gynaecologists (see obstetrics and gynaecology). The specialties of gynaecology and obstetrics overlap in many areas.
					
The term "women's science" refers to the study of women.
					
 Andrology, on the other hand, is concerned with medical disorders relating to the male reproductive system.
Obstetrics, or pregnancy and childbirth, menstruation and reproductive concerns, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), hormone imbalances, and other issues are all dealt with by them.
					
					For general health difficulties, some women in the United States prefer to go to a well-woman clinic rather than a family doctor. The patient may then be referred to another specialist by the gynaecologist.
					
					A trained gynaecologist has completed at least eight years of training and should be certified by an examination body like the American Board of Gynecologists (ABOG) and registered with a professional association like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
