It also deals with inherent pathologies of the female genital tract organs and the breasts, as well as the preventive, psychic and social aspects linked to them.

Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialists are trained and prepared to solve most of the problems encountered by women in the different stages of life. Sometimes providing guidance, sometimes treating.

GYNAECOLOGICAL CARE FOR GIRLS AND ADOLESCENTS

The foundations for good health are laid in childhood, when habits that contribute to well-being throughout life are established. Thus, in the field of gynaecology, hygiene habits can be instilled at the family level. Childhood is not usually a time to go to the gynaecologist unless there are problems. It is recommended to start visiting a gynaecologist from the age of 14. Many times, the first visit simply consists of a close and empathetic conversation. This allows a relationship to be established with the doctor that makes a girl or woman feel more comfortable asking questions about menstruation, sexuality, etc., creating a link in case symptoms occur in the future. It also provides the opportunity to be able to guide her towards long-term general wellbeing, through advice on important health and lifestyle issues.

GYNAECOLOGICAL CARE IN ADULTHOOD

Gynaecologists are physicians who specialise in women's health, with a focus on the female reproductive system. An obstetrician is a gynaecologist who specialises in pregnancy and childbirth. An annual visit is recommended for a check-up to ensure your reproductive health and, at any time, if symptoms appear that concern you. In our centres, as well as having highly-qualified professionals, we have all the support of state-of-the-art technology to perform:
