What type of doctor is a gynecologist?

A gynecologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the female reproductive system, which includes the organs and structures involved in female reproduction, such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. Their expertise covers a wide range of areas including menstruation, childbirth, menopause, and various gynecological disorders. Gynecologists are also involved in preventive care and health education related to women’s reproductive health, conducting routine examinations, and performing surgeries as needed.

The other options incorrectly define the specialties of different types of doctors. For instance, a doctor for male reproductive health would be labeled as a urologist, while pediatricians specialize in children's health. General surgery encompasses a broader range of surgeries rather than a focus solely on the female reproductive system as practiced by gynecologists.
