Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Overview

Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a medical specialty that focuses on the care of women, particularly during pregnancy, childbirth, and the post-partum period, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the female reproductive system. Obstetricians specialize in managing pregnancy, while gynaecologists focus on the health of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina.

This dual specialty provides comprehensive care for all stages of a woman's life, from adolescence through menopause and beyond. Obstetrics & Gynaecology covers a range of conditions from routine care to complex reproductive health issues.

What is Obstetrics & Gynaecology?

Obstetrics & Gynaecology encompasses two distinct but closely related specialties:

  • Obstetrics: The branch of medicine that deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and the immediate postpartum period. Obstetricians care for women throughout their pregnancies, manage labor and delivery, and provide care after childbirth. They address complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and ectopic pregnancy.
  • Gynaecology: This focuses on the female reproductive system, diagnosing and treating conditions related to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. Common concerns include menstrual disorders, pelvic pain, fibroids, endometriosis, and infections.

In addition to these primary focuses, Obstetrics & Gynaecology also includes:

  • Fertility Treatments: Helping couples who experience difficulties in conception through treatments like IVF, IUI, and ovulation induction.
  • Cancer Care: Addressing cancers of the reproductive organs, including cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers.
  • Family Planning: Providing advice and treatments for contraception, as well as procedures such as tubal ligations or vasectomies.
  • Menopause Care: Managing symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopause, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and non-hormonal options.

When is Obstetrics & Gynaecology Needed?

Women should consult an Obstetrician & Gynaecologist for a variety of reasons throughout their lives. Here are some common situations that may require expert care:

  • Pregnancy and Prenatal Care: Regular check-ups during pregnancy to monitor the health of both the mother and the baby, as well as preparing for childbirth.
  • Pelvic Pain: Persistent or severe pelvic pain may indicate conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, or pelvic infections.
  • Abnormal Menstrual Cycles: Irregular or painful periods, heavy bleeding, or missed periods may indicate underlying health issues.
  • Fertility Issues: Difficulty conceiving may require consultation for fertility tests and treatments.
  • Birth Control and Family Planning: Seeking advice on contraception methods or considering sterilization options like tubal ligation.
  • Sexual Health: Treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), vaginitis, or sexual dysfunction.
  • Menopause: Management of menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, mood changes, and changes in sexual health.
  • Gynecological Cancers: Early detection and treatment of cancers affecting the reproductive organs, such as cervical, ovarian, or uterine cancer.
  • Postpartum Care: Care after childbirth, including recovery from vaginal or cesarean delivery, and addressing any complications.

Routine checkups with an Obstetrician & Gynaecologist are recommended, especially during pregnancy and major life stages such as menopause, to ensure early detection and proactive management of any health issues.
