Gynecology and obstetrics are two medical specialties that concentrate on the female reproductive system in different ways. Women of all ages, whether they are menopausal or expecting a child, visit Virginia Beach OBGYN for care.
Obstetrics
Obstetrics and gynecology are two medical specialties that are closely related to women's health, but they focus on different aspects of reproductive health.
Gynecologists
On the other hand, gynecology is the branch of medicine that deals with the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Gynecologists focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions that affect the female reproductive system, such as menstrual disorders, infertility, and sexually transmitted infections.
While obstetrics and gynecology are two separate specialties, they often overlap in practice. Many doctors choose to specialize in both obstetrics and gynecology, which is known as an OB/GYN, and they provide comprehensive care for women's reproductive health throughout their lives.
