Gynecology and Obstetrics
Gynaecology is a medical subspecialty that focuses on the health of women, particularly during pregnancy and childbirth. They also focus on diagnosing and managing conditions that impact the female reproductive system. Other women's health issues that a gynaecologist might be able to assist with include hormone abnormalities, infertility, menopause, and birth control. A doctor of obstetrics is primarily responsible for supervising and caring for the mother following the birth of the child. They help the gynaecologist during labour as well. A skilled practitioner who can address any of these issues is an obstetrician-gynecologist.
