Gynecology and Obstetrics

Gynecology and Obstetrics is a combined medical specialty that focuses on women's health, particularly reproductive health and childbirth. Gynecology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, and breasts. Obstetrics, on the other hand, focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and baby. Specialists in this field, known as obstetricians-gynecologists (OB-GYNs), provide care ranging from routine check-ups and prenatal care to surgical interventions and managing high-risk pregnancies. This specialty plays a vital role in women's overall health and reproductive care.
