Gynaecology is the medical specialty that focuses on female reproduction and sexual health. Regular gynaecological examinations can provide protection against a variety of diseases. While some of these diseases, such as cancer, require early detection, others, such as those that cause infertility in advanced cases, can also be avoided. All women over the age of 18 are advised to have a gynaecological examination on a regular basis. It makes no difference whether you are married or single, or whether you have an active sexual life or not for a gynaecological examination. Gynaecological examinations have a significant impact on the health of all women.
