Gynecologists & Obstetricians
Gynecologists and obstetricians are medical doctors who specialize in women’s health, particularly focusing on the female reproductive system and pregnancy-related care.
Gynecologists: These doctors specialize in the female reproductive system outside of pregnancy. They diagnose and treat conditions related to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. Gynecologists also provide preventive care, such as annual exams, Pap smears, breast exams, and contraceptive counseling.
Obstetricians: These doctors specialize in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. They provide prenatal care to monitor the health of both the mother and the developing fetus, manage labor and delivery, and offer postnatal care to ensure the well-being of both mother and baby.
