Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OB/GYN) is a medical specialty that encompasses the care of women’s reproductive health, covering both pregnancy and non-pregnancy-related aspects. Obstetricians specialize in the management of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby. They monitor the progress of pregnancies, address potential complications, and provide support throughout the childbirth process. Gynaecologists, on the other hand, focus on the health of the female reproductive system in non-pregnant states. They diagnose and treat conditions such as menstrual disorders, fertility issues, gynecological cancers, and other reproductive health concerns.

OB/GYN specialists are trained to perform surgeries, including cesarean sections and various gynecological procedures. Beyond clinical care, OB/GYNs often play a crucial role in educating women about reproductive health, family planning, and preventive measures. The field emphasizes a holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and social factors that influence women’s health.
