Obstetrics & Gynaecology is a specialized field of medicine dedicated to women's health, focusing on the reproductive system, pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care. This dual specialty combines obstetrics—which deals with the management of pregnancy, labor, and delivery—with gynaecology, which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the female reproductive organs.
OB-GYN specialists are trained to provide comprehensive care to women across all stages of life, from adolescence to menopause and beyond. They handle a wide range of services, including routine screenings, fertility treatments, prenatal and postnatal care, menstrual disorders, hormonal imbalances, pelvic pain, and cancers of the reproductive tract. Their work often involves both medical and surgical interventions, such as cesarean sections, hysterectomies, and laparoscopic procedures.
The field plays a critical role in promoting women’s health and well-being by offering preventive care, early detection of diseases, and personalized treatment plans. OB-GYNs also provide essential education on reproductive health, contraception, and sexual wellness.
