Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Obstetrics and Gynaecology deal with the care of pregnant women, their unborn children and the management of diseases specific to women such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and menopausal conditions. The specialty combines medicine and surgery. Most obstetricians and gynecologists have specialized in particular areas such as fertility care, minimal access surgeries, pregnancy and obstetric conditions.

Gynaecologists deal with patients with female reproductive organs and the ability to reproduce and this includes endocrinology (ovaries and ovarian hormones), female urology (urinary problems) and pelvic cancers. Obstetricians are concerned with the pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period.

Common conditions for which an obstetrician offer their services include pregnancy and its complications (abruption placentae, ruptured uterus, postpartum haemorrhage, pre-eclampsia, multiple pregnancies). A gynecologist (commonly called a gynae), on the other hand covers urinary continence, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, pelvic inflammatory disorders, sexually transmitted infections, menopause anal incontinence and urinary tract infections.
