Gynecology Q & A

What is gynecology?

Gynecology is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on a woman’s reproductive health. Your life stages revolve around your reproductive cycle, starting with the onset of your menstrual cycle and ending with menopause.

Your reproductive system — which includes your vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and breasts — plays a major role in your overall health and well-being. They also place you at risk of developing certain health conditions like cervical and breast cancer.

Dr. Bridges is an experienced gynecologist who manages every aspect of your reproductive health, including general wellness and health issues. Anyone with female organs benefits from gynecology care at Women’s Health Partners of the Permian Basin.
