Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) is the medical specialty focused on the health of the female reproductive system and women’s health throughout all stages of life. Physicians who practice in this field are called obstetricians and gynecologists. They are specially trained to care for women during pregnancy and childbirth, perform procedures such as cesarean deliveries, and diagnose and treat conditions affecting the reproductive system.
OB/GYN physicians have comprehensive knowledge in both obstetrics and gynecology, allowing them to care for patients through a wide range of needs—from routine preventive care and screenings to pregnancy, delivery, and complex reproductive health concerns. Because of this broad expertise, they often serve as a patient’s primary women’s health provider and may also work closely with other physicians as consultants when specialized care is needed.
