Gynecology facts for kids
Gynecology (also spelled gynaecology) is the part of medicine that deals with the female reproductive system. It is often paired with the field of obstetrics, forming the combined area of obstetrics and gynaecology (OB-GYN).
The term comes from Greek and means "the science of women". Its counterpart is andrology, which deals with medical issues specific to the male reproductive system.
