Obstetrics & Gynecology
Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN) is a medical specialty that focuses on the care of the female reproductive system, pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. OB-GYNs are trained to manage a wide range of health issues related to women’s reproductive health.
OB-GYNs work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as maternal-fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, and reproductive endocrinologists, to provide comprehensive care to women throughout their reproductive lives. They also play an important role in promoting women’s health and wellness through regular screenings, preventive care, and patient education.
