Gynaecologist & Obstetrics
Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) is a medical specialty that focuses on the health of women, including their reproductive systems, during pregnancy, childbirth, and other life stages:
- Obstetrics
Involves care for the mother and fetus during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Obstetricians deliver babies and help mothers recover from pregnancy and childbirth.
- Gynecology
Involves care for a woman’s reproductive organs and health throughout her life. Gynecologists can perform a range of procedures, from keyhole surgery to advising on fertility treatment.
- Other women’s health issues
OB/GYNs can also treat other women’s health issues, such as menopause, hormone problems, contraception, and infertility.
OB/GYNs are medical doctors who combine the two disciplines of obstetrics and gynecology. They play a critical role in women’s healthcare; many young women may see them regularly. Some OB/GYNs may even serve as primary care providers.
OB/GYN specialists can earn high incomes due to the demand for their expertise. They often receive attractive benefits and bonuses, including lucrative signing bonuses for new specialists.
