yes. literally any surgical specialty. Urology: there are substantial outcome differences in women and men with bladder cancer who undergo cystectomies (though in urology doing female/male recon or onco on any meaningful level usually but not always requires a fellowship, certainly not to same degree as in gyn especially if you’re not in big cities, also Uro fellowships not Nearly as competitive as gyn because you can still do vast majority of urologic surgery and make a crap ton of money as a general urologist ). Stones In pregnancy Ortho: osteoporosis affects more men than women, not sure how that breaks down in terms of rates of fracture and what you see in office but still some relevance. Gen surgery/trauma/GS sub different outcomes in men and women, and breast surgery is the Most obvious intersection.
I mean if you’re specifically interested in disorders of the female reproductive and urinary tracts gyn and then maybe some uro. If you are more interested in advocacy/social justice obgyn is really the only option but Even people who focus on that don’t do that much operating and usually function as generalists (Family planning fellowship trained people included.
You have to decide the focus of your career. I chose obgyn because I wanted to do gyn onc really no way to do that through another specialty, switched to urogyn because I like research in the field, patient population and don’t have to live in the hospital, now realize would have been just as happy as a urologist because I just like the GU tract.
Figure out what body system you like and then look at the intersection of that and women’s health, you’ll find it.
if you’re more interested in social justice then then oath of least resistance is honestly FM/IM and a women’s health felowship
