Best Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) Specialists | Expert Care for Women’s Health
Obstetrics and gynaecology are two surgical medical specialties dealing with female reproductive health. Obstetrics
deals with pregnancy and childbirth, while gynaecology focuses on the health of non-pregnant women. Obstetrics and
gynaecology (O&G) specialists cover both areas of specialties including childbirth and delivery, as well as
women’s general health of the female reproductive system.
What is Obstetrics and Gynaecologist?
Obstetrics is a medical specialty that focuses on the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth,
and the postpartum period. It involves monitoring the health of the fetus, managing conditions related to pregnancy,
and overseeing the uterus during childbirth.
A gynaecologist, sometimes spelled gynecologist, is a medical doctor who specialises in the female
reproductive system. They diagnose and treat conditions related to a woman's reproductive organs, breasts, and sex
hormones.
