Gynecologist

Gynecologist
: A doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the female reproductive organs. The word "gynecologist" comes from the Greek gyno, gynaikos meaning woman + logia meaning study, so a gynecologist is literally a student of women, a women's doctor. However, these days gynecologists do not address all of women’s medicine but instead focus mainly on disorders of the female reproductive organs.
