Obstetrics & Gynecology
Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) is a medical speciality that focuses on the care of women’s reproductive health. OB/GYNs are medical doctors who provide various services related to pregnancy, childbirth, and women’s reproductive systems. They play a crucial role in women’s health throughout their lives.
Here are some key aspects of Obstetrics and Gynecology department:
Obstetrics:
- Prenatal Care: Obstetricians provide prenatal care to pregnant women, monitoring the
health of both the mother and the developing fetus. This includes regular check-ups, ultrasounds, and
screenings to ensure a healthy pregnancy. - Labor and Delivery: Obstetricians are responsible for managing labor and childbirth.
They oversee the delivery process, make decisions about pain management, and perform cesarean sections
(C-sections) when necessary. - High-Risk Pregnancy: Obstetricians specialize in caring for high-risk pregnancies,
which may involve complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or multiple pregnancies
(twins or more). - Postpartum Care: After childbirth, obstetricians provide postpartum care to monitor
the mother’s recovery and address any postpartum health concerns.
Gynecology:
- Well-Woman Examinations: Gynecologists conduct routine well-woman exams to assess
reproductive health, perform pelvic exams, and offer cancer screenings such as Pap smears and
mammograms. - Family Planning: Gynecologists provide contraceptive counseling and family planning
services to help women make informed decisions about birth control options. - Menstrual Disorders: Gynecologists diagnose and treat menstrual disorders, such as
irregular periods, heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), and painful periods (dysmenorrhea). - Reproductive Health: Gynecologists address various reproductive health issues,
including fertility problems, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and endometriosis. - Gynecologic Surgery: Gynecologists perform different surgical procedures, such as
hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids), and surgery for
ovarian cysts or pelvic organ prolapse. - Menopause Management: Gynecologists assist women in managing the physical and hormonal
changes associated with menopause, guiding hormone replacement therapy and other treatments. - Minimally Invasive Techniques: Many gynecologists use minimally invasive surgical
techniques, such as laparoscopy, to perform surgeries with smaller incisions, reduced scarring, and
faster recovery times.
