Gynecology and Obstetrics are the specialties that deal with the wellness of women. We all know that the majority of the problems with the health of the women are related to the vagina, ovaries and other intimate areas. These two specialties cover everything about the health and wellness of females. A gynecologists focuses on the pre-natal and post-natal treatment, support the pregnancy in the best way possible. While the gynecologists focus on the general health of the women, the obstetrician focuses on the female genitalia.
Both of these specialties are clumped together because they both are involved in caring of women. Most of the gynecologists have studies obstetrics as well. The obstetrician can manage high-risk pregnancy and can check the baby if it is doing fine in the beginning. The practitioners of both of these specialties are called OB/GYN. Most of them are females only but nowadays-even males are entering this field.
Each country will have a society to control these specialties the way we have Philippines Obstetrical and Gynecological society. The specialists provide the require care to the patients while this society keep a check if everything is going well in the country. If there are any complaints regarding any gynecologist or obstetrician, an individual can approach this society for further action.
