Gynecology & Obstetrics

Gynecology can be defined as the branch of medical science that deals with the health of the female reproductive systems (vagina, ovaries and uterus) and the breasts. This term also means, “the science of women” outside medicine. A gynaecologist deals with various types of diseases which include Cancer and pre-cancerous diseases of reproductive organs, Amenorrhoea, Infertility, Dysmenorrhoea, Menorrhagia, Infections of the vagina, cervix and uterus, Premenstrual Syndrome, Prolapse of pelvic organs, and other vaginal diseases. All of the modern gynaecologists are also obstetrics as in many areas the specialities of both gynecology and obstetrics overlap.

Obstetrics on the other hand is the area of study which is mainly focused on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
