What is gynecology and obstetrics?

Gynecology and obstetrics are distinct branches of medicine that focus on the diagnosis and treatment of problems related to the female reproductive system. This includes conditions related to the vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts, as well as the comprehensive care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

Gynecologists have the expertise to manage a diverse spectrum of conditions, ranging from infections and hormonal imbalances to cancer and issues related to fertility.

In the typical scenario, women seek the services of a gynecologist for routine examinations and prenatal care throughout pregnancy. Simultaneously, obstetricians specialize in providing care to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the immediate postpartum period.
