Gynaecology & Obstetrics

• Gynecology and obstetrics are two closely related medical specialties that deal with women's reproductive health.
• Obstetrics involves the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
• Obstetricians are medical professionals who specialize in providing care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They monitor the health of the mother and the developing fetus, and they perform diagnostic tests and medical interventions as necessary.
• Obstetricians are responsible for monitoring the health of both the mother and the developing fetus throughout pregnancy, attending to the delivery of the baby, and providing care to the mother and baby after delivery.
• Gynecologists provide preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions related to the female reproductive system, such as menstrual disorders, fertility issues, sexually transmitted infections, and gynecologic cancers.
• Gynecologists, on the other hand, focus on the female reproductive system and the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect it. This can include conditions such as menstrual disorders, infertility, sexually transmitted infections, and cancers of the reproductive organs.
• Often, obstetricians and gynecologists (OB-GYNs) practice both specialties and provide a range of services to women throughout their reproductive years. They may also specialize in areas such as reproductive endocrinology and infertility, gynecologic oncology, urogynecology, and maternal-fetal medicine.
• In some cases, a medical professional may specialize in both obstetrics and gynecology, and they may be referred to as an OB-GYN. They provide comprehensive care for women, including preventative care, diagnostic services, and treatment options for a wide range of medical conditions.
