WHAT IS OBSTETRICS/GYNECOLOGY?
Better known as OB/GYN, this specialty provides general medical care for women and services during pregnancy, including prenatal and postpartum care, as well as genetic counseling. In many ways, OB/GYNs are primary care physicians for women, often providing basic medical exams and routine tests. As specialists, OB/GYNs diagnose and treat hormonal disorders, sexual dysfunction, reproductive organ diseases and urinary tract illnesses. They are also trained in surgery to correct or treat reproductive and urinary problems in women. Cancer screenings for women are often initiated by OB/GYNs. Certain OB/GYNs may choose to provide only GYN services, focusing on the treatment of women outside pregnancy.
