[[image:gynae.jpg|right|thumb|300px|This is the "compromise" position of gynaecological examination, where the doctor can feel, but not see. It's pretty Victorian, and pretty ineffective, like Raj's mum's contraception 23 years ago.]]
{{Breast speciality}}
This is all about the weird and horrifying things that happen to the equally mysterious and frightening world of [[Genitourinary And Sex#Female Bits|female sexual organs]].
{{Obstetrics and Gynaecology}}
 
*[[Pathology of the female reproductive tract#Ovary|Ovarian Afflictions]]
*[[Pathology of the female reproductive tract#Uterus|Uterine Maladies]]
*[[Pathology of the female reproductive tract#Cervix|Cervical Ailments]]
*[[Pathology of the female reproductive tract#Vagina|Vaginal Indispositions]]
 
The things that don't really fit into those categories are [[urogynaecology]], [[endometriosis]], the [[menstrual cycle]], [[menstrual disorders|its disorders]] plus when it ends i.e. the [[menopause]].
 
====Avoiding, and getting, pregnant====
[[Contraception]], [[fertility]] and [[early pregnancy]] are also important parts of gynae, even if the last one could strictly be obstetrics.
 
===Obstetrics===
This is all about care of the pregnant woman. Thus it is important to know about the big two areas: [[pregnancy]] and [[birth]]. Once these are known, its important to learn about the key things that can go wrong, such as:
 
Pregnancy:
*[[Infections in pregnancy]]
*[[Diabetes in pregnancy]]
*[[Antepartum haemorrhage]]
*[[Intrauterine growth retardation]]
 
Birth:
*[[Slow progress in labour]]
*[[Foetal distress]]
*[[Prematurity]]
 
===Breasts===
The biggie is [[breast cancer]]. However, there is also a wide range of [[benign breast disease]].
===Case Studies===
*[[Foetal and Maternal Screening Case Study]]
