What is Gynecology?
Gynaecology covers the health of the female reproductive system including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. Services include laparoscopic surgery, hysterectomy, treatment for endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, infertility, and obstetric care. India's gynaecology specialists offer world-class care with significantly shorter waiting times than the NHS at 60–70% lower cost.
