The gynecologist is a specialist in female diseases and within the scope of his actions lies the performance of ultrasound of the reproductive organ (uterus, ovaries). I expect that he will check the state of your intimate health and will try to answer whether lower abdominal pain and spotting may result from gynecological ailments. In my opinion, he will not want to perform and interpret an ultrasound of the kidneys. However, you must ask about this directly. Basically, an ultrasound specialist is a doctor with certificates entitling to professional ultrasound diagnostics of a given organ. Ultrasound of the kidneys or abdominal cavity is most often performed by doctors specializing in radiologist, urologist, surgeon or nephrologist.
