What is a male gynecologist called?

A male gynecologist is simply a gynecologist who happens to be male. There is no special or separate title based on gender—the term “gynecologist” applies to both men and women who are trained in female reproductive health.

Key Points:

  1. Definition of a Gynecologist

    • A gynecologist is a doctor who specializes in women’s reproductive health, including menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, contraception, and menopause.

    • Male gynecologists undergo the same medical education and residency training as female gynecologists.

  2. No Gender-Specific Title

    • Whether male or female, the professional title remains “gynecologist” or “obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN)” if they also practice obstetrics.

    • Gender does not change their qualifications, skills, or responsibilities.

  3. Choosing a Gynecologist

    • Patients may choose a gynecologist based on experience, communication style, and comfort level, rather than gender alone.

    • Male gynecologists are fully trained to provide care just like female gynecologists.

Conclusion
A male gynecologist is called a gynecologist, the same as their female counterparts. The focus should be on professionalism, skill, and patient comfort, not gender.
