Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) is a medical specialty focused on the care of women’s reproductive health, including pregnancy, childbirth, and disorders of the female reproductive system. Obstetricians specialize in managing pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, providing prenatal care, overseeing labor and delivery, and managing complications that may arise during pregnancy and childbirth. Gynecologists focus on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the female reproductive organs, such as menstrual disorders, infertility, sexually transmitted infections, and gynecological cancers. They also perform procedures such as pelvic exams, Pap smears, and surgical interventions like hysterectomy and ovarian cyst removal. OB/GYNs play a crucial role in promoting women’s health and well-being across the lifespan, from adolescence through menopause.
