By Melissa Stewart


Gynecology is the practice in medicine that deals with female reproductive health which involves breasts, ovaries, uterus and vagina. Gynecologists are also mostly obstetricians who specialize in taking care of pregnant women and after they have just given birth. They are called ob-gyn and were trained to do all these things, including delivering of babies.

They deal with several important health issues including childbirth, birth control and menopause as well as treating for infections, performing surgery to problems in urinary tract and pelvic organ and screening for cancer. Most patients are embarrassed or nervous in letting doctors to see their private body parts which is why female GYN Aurora is preferred over males. You could choose one by searching for them.

Choosing one yourself with the gender you prefer is possible though some hospitals do not encourage this practice. They will provide you one regardless of gender but based on who is available in that moment you need them. That is why looking for one with their own clinic beforehand is important to ensure that your doctor is female.

Physicians of both genders have equal skills, capabilities and knowledge usually in their specialization while doing their work professionally. This means there will be no sexual intent or malice which is shown during treatment or check up even from the straight male doctor. Although others abuse this and their license would be removed immediately if caught.

Another reason patients are preferring women doctors would be religious beliefs specially those that strictly does not allow other men who are not their husband to look at the naked body of theirs. This is something to respect and consider when a physician is being assigned. But this is not important during emergency situations.

Teenage girls and young women which have not given birth yet also prefer women doctors because of their unfamiliarity with the opposite gender. This is specially true with teenage girls who are not confident enough with their body and are conscious of the changes that is happening to it. They will want someone that can relate to them and explain these things.

If you need one then start by looking for them through requesting for recommendations from your friends, family members and primary care provider. Doing so ensures you that these specialists are trustworthy because they will not be recommended otherwise. And you would have someone to ask about them including how they treat their patients.

Research on them to know the institution they were educated and trained for this specialty including how long they have started this practice. Read testimonials from other patients and get ideas on what you can expect from your sessions. Check if they received any complaints or have been charged with a medical malpractice before.

Set an appointment to meet them before finalizing your decision on who to choose and ask them some questions. This includes if your health insurance is accepted, and their stand on reproductive issues such as birth control. Ask them which hospital they have admitting privileges if ever it would become necessary.
