Gynecological errors can leave a lasting impact on the health of a patient, and sometimes, the health of their child as well. For this reason, it is important for medical professionals to provide the highest standard of care at all times. Unfortunately, this does not always occur, and the following examples of gynecological malpractice are fairly common: Failure to diagnose or treat cervical, uterine, or breast cancers; Improperly performed hysterectomies, abortions, or tubal ligations; Incorrect interpretation of diagnostic tests; Failure to warn patients about the side effects of a prescription drug; Failure to monitor a pregnancy or detect potential complications.
