Save
Obstetricians and gynecologists (OB-GYNs) are medical doctors who specialize in the care of women's reproductive health. They provide a range of services, from prenatal care to menopause management and beyond. While some OB-GYNs focus on one area of practice, such as obstetrics or gynecology, others offer a more comprehensive range of services.
Obstetrics
OB-GYNs who specialize in obstetrics are responsible for the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They monitor the health of both the mother and the developing fetus, and they provide counseling and support to families throughout the pregnancy and delivery process.
Gynecology
Gynecologists focus on the health of the female reproductive system. They provide routine checkups, diagnose and treat menstrual disorders, provide contraception counseling, and perform surgeries to address issues such as uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts.
