Gynecology and Women Health

Gynecology and Obstetrics

Gynecology is the branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the reproductive organs, such as cancers of the Ovaries, Uterus, Cervix, Vaginal, and Fallopian tubes. Due to the strong relationship between female reproductive organs and the Bowel, Bladder, and Urine system, a Gynecologist may also treat associated Bowel, Bladder, and Urinary System Disorders. Prolapse of the pelvic organs is also treated by a gynecologist. This is a syndrome that affects Postmenopausal women who have decreased pelvic muscles and are unable to effectively support the uterus or bladder.

Obstetrics is dealing with the treatment of pregnant women, their unborn children, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period. The obstetrician ensures that mother and child receive the best prenatal care possible to ensure that labor and delivery go smoothly and that, if intervention is required, it is done quickly and safely. The obstetrician is trained in these and other delivery difficulties, and ensures that both the mother and the baby are safely led through all stages of pregnancy and labor.
