What all does a GYN doctor do? - Women's Health Message Board

I know the regular female stuff but will they also check say stomach problems or send you some place else? Stomach problems meaning tons and tons of gas all the time. Seems like can't use the bathroom enough, etc.

I would mention it and probably if it something simple, he or she may go ahead and treat it. It is my GYN who put me on lipitor. My GYN also prescribed antibiotics for a sinus infection and cough I had once when when I went in for a check up. I have also heard of others prescribing things for problems not related to that part of the body, treating for high blood pressure, etc. At least I would ask when you go.
