Gynaecology describes the medical field of women’s health. It covers anything that could go wrong with the organs and structures of your body that enable you to have a baby.
Gynaecological/reproductive health is not always straight-forward, and things can go wrong from time to time. Knowing your body and having the right information and advice can help you manage many difficulties without needing help from a doctor or other specialist.
This website has detailed information on many areas of women’s health:

Symptoms
The following symptoms and conditions are common, but aren’t considered normal. If you have new or unexplained symptoms, or changes to your body or periods, talk to your doctor to make sure there aren’t any underlying causes.
You should seek help and advice from your doctor or healthcare professional, if you notice changes to your usual menstrual cycle that are affecting you everyday life, or if you notice symptoms like:
Difficulties with sex
Some gynaecological conditions can interfere with your sex life. Physical changes in your pelvic area, particularly around your pelvic floor and genitals, can make things more challenging. Leaks from your bladder or bowels can interfere and be embarrassing, and pain, dryness or irritation can limit your sexual pleasure.
Trans and non-binary people
Not everyone’s reproductive system ‘fits’ with or matches their sex or gender identity, but it is still important that you know what is ‘normal’ for you and look after your body and organs.
When and where to get help
Urgent help
If you are experiencing uncontrolled vaginal bleeding, you should call 999 and ask for an ambulance.
