Overview
An Ob/Gyn specialized in women’s health issues such as menopause, hormone problems, contraception (birth control), and infertility, as well as the care of women during pregnancy and childbirth and in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive organs. Separately an obstetrician provides care during pregnancy and delivers babies while a gynecologist doesn’t treat people who are pregnant or deliver babies but specializes in the female reproductive system. A combination of these two areas of medicine is Ob/Gyn.
