Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OB/GYN) is a medical specialty that focuses on women’s health, particularly in the areas of pregnancy, childbirth, and the reproductive system. Obstetrics deals with the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, while Gynaecology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and cervix. OB/GYNs provide essential services such as prenatal care, family planning, menopause management, and screenings for conditions like cervical cancer. This field plays a vital role in ensuring the health and well-being of women throughout their lives.
