What do OB/GYN Physicians do?
An obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) is a medical doctor who specializes in the health of the female reproductive system.
Obstetrics deals explicitly with pregnancy, childbirth, and the period before and after delivery, while gynecology is concerned with the health of the female reproductive organs throughout a person’s life.
OB/GYN physicians practice both of these specialties.
Obstetrics
Focus: Care for pregnant women, including prenatal care, managing childbirth, and postpartum support.
Practitioners: While midwives manage many low-risk pregnancies, obstetricians are involved in complex deliveries, instrumental deliveries (such as forceps or vacuum), or when the baby is in distress.
Procedures: Can include performing Cesarean sections, amniocentesis, and other delivery-related procedures.
Prenatal care: Provides routine checkups, screenings, and tests to monitor the health of both the mother and fetus during pregnancy.
Fetal monitoring: Uses tools like ultrasound to check the baby’s growth, position, and overall health.
Delivery: Manages labor and delivery, including emergency situations and Cesarean sections.
Postpartum care: Monitors the mother’s recovery and health for up to six weeks after childbirth.
Gynecology
Focus: Treatment and health of the female reproductive organs (uterus, ovaries, etc.) and related conditions.
Practitioners: Gynecologists handle a wide range of health concerns for women.
Services: Includes cancer screenings (like pap smears), contraception, diagnosing and treating sexually transmitted diseases, and managing conditions such as endometriosis and menopause.
Routine exams: Performs regular check-ups and screening exams for the reproductive system.
Reproductive health: Offers counseling and services for family planning, birth control, and preventing infections.
Diagnosis and treatment: Diagnoses and treats a wide range of conditions related to the female reproductive organs, such as the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
Surgery: Performs surgeries as needed to treat gynecological conditions.
The combined field of OB/GYN
Services: An OB/GYN can serve as a primary care provider for women, performing both routine exams and specialized procedures.
Practice: Many physicians choose to practice both obstetrics and gynecology, providing comprehensive care for a woman’s reproductive health needs throughout her life.
Training
- To become an OB/GYN, a doctor must complete medical school and a four- to five-year residency program in obstetrics and gynecology.
- After residency, physicians can become board-certified in both areas.
- Some OB/GYNs pursue additional training to subspecialize in areas like infertility, cancer, or high-risk pregnancies (Maternal-Fetal Medicine).
