Obstetrics involves comprehensive care during
pre-conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and the immediate postpartum period. Gynecology
focuses on addressing a wide range of women’s health issues. Together, these specialties cater
to the care of pregnant women, and their unborn children, and the management of
female-specific diseases, integrating both medical and surgical expertise.
Gynecology addresses conditions ranging from chronic, non-life-threatening disorders that
impact quality of life to acute emergencies that signal serious gynecological issues. This field encompasses the health and well-being of the female reproductive system, covering areas such as endocrinology, female urology, and pelvic malignancy, and spans from pediatric to geriatric care.
In obstetrics, while many pregnant women are healthy, some experience acute or chronic
medical conditions that require specialized obstetric care to manage the complexities of their
pregnancies.
