Gynecology & Obstetrics (OB-GYN) is a medical specialty that focuses on the health of women, particularly their reproductive system. It encompasses two main areas:
- Obstetrics: Concerned with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
- Gynecology: Deals with the female reproductive system, including conditions like menstrual disorders, infertility, menopause, and cancer.
OB-GYNs diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions related to women’s health, but they themselves are not diseases.
