The medical specialty focused on treating diseases and health problems specific to women.
From Greek 'gyne' (woman) + 'iatros' (physician), modeled after medical terms like 'pediatry' and 'geriatry'. This term gained currency in 20th-century medical literature as a specialized field.
Gyniatry as a formal medical discipline represents an important shift: recognizing that women's health isn't just about reproduction but encompasses all stages of life with unique physiological needs.
