Other sub-specialties in gynecology include endocrinology and infertility, urology, pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.

This non-profit organization is independently maintained and is recognized as a specialty board by the Medical Board of Medical Specialties.

Gynecologist FAQs:

What Is a Gynecologist?

What Is the Difference between a Gynecologist and an Obstetrician?
