Obstetrician-Gynecologist

An obstetrician-gynecologist, often called an OB-GYN, is a medical doctor specializing in women's health, particularly reproductive health, pregnancy, and childbirth. They provide care before, during, and after pregnancy, including prenatal checkups, delivery, and postpartum support. Additionally, they handle a wide range of gynecologic issues such as menstrual problems, infections, contraception, and menopause management. OB-GYNs perform medical examinations, diagnose conditions, and may also conduct surgeries when needed. Their role is essential in helping women maintain reproductive health and ensuring safe pregnancy and childbirth experiences.
