Gynecologist In Chicago & Northbrook, IL

Gynaecology or gynecology is the medical practice dealing with the health of the female reproductive system. Gynecological surgery in Chicago is constantly improving and includes all latest surgical procedures pertaining to women’s health such as tumors, urogynecology- a sub specialty of urology & gynecology and fetal surgery.

Gynaecology is typically considered a consultant specialty. If women’s health condition requires specialized training, knowledge, surgical technique or equipment which are unavailable to the general practitioner; the patient is then referred to a gynecologist. Gynecological examination is quite delicate and requires unique instrumentation such as the speculum to retract the tissues of the reproductive system and permit examination of the cervix. Gynecologists usually conduct a bimanual examination to palpate the cervix, ovaries and bony pelvis. Some times male gynecologists may have a female chaperone assisting their examination.

• Cancer and pre-cancerous diseases of the reproductive organs including ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, and vulva

• Painful Menstrual Periods
• Infertility
