What is the difference between a Gynaecologist and a Fertility Specialist?
A Gynaecologist is specialised in the disorders of the female reproductive system. A Fertility Specialist is a gynaecologist who exclusively commits his/her practice to the treatment of women and men who have difficulties conceiving. The HPCSA (Health Professions Council of South Africa) has certified a subspecialty in infertility. This is called a subspecilisation in Reproductive Medicine.
