Obs and Gynae

Obstetrics is a medical specialty that focuses on the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It includes the management of normal and high-risk pregnancies, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of complications that may arise during these stages. Obstetricians are responsible for providing prenatal care, delivering babies, and caring for the mother and baby during the first weeks after birth. Gynaecology is the branch of medicine that deals with the health of the female reproductive system, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. Gynaecologists are doctors who specialize in this field and often provide care for women throughout their lives, including during pregnancy and childbirth. Common gynaecological issues include menstrual problems, infertility, and cervical cancer. Gynaecological exams and screenings are important for maintaining reproductive health and identifying any potential problems early on.
