Comprehensive OB/GYN care

OB/GYN care encompasses a comprehensive range of services to address the health needs of women throughout their lifetime. From puberty through menopause and beyond, this specialized area of medicine focuses on reproductive and sexual health, including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the female reproductive system.

OB/GYN care covers preventive health screenings, such as Pap tests and breast exams, family planning and contraceptive advice, and pregnancy care, ensuring a holistic approach to women’s health that supports both physical and emotional well-being.

What’s the difference between obstetrics and gynecology?

Obstetrics is solely concerned with pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, offering expert care for expecting mothers to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby. Gynecology, on the other hand, focuses on the non-pregnancy aspects of a woman’s reproductive health, from menstruation and fertility issues to pelvic floor disorders and menopause management.

By distinguishing between these two areas, OB/GYN professionals are equipped to provide targeted care that meets the specific needs of women at all stages of life, ensuring comprehensive support and specialized attention when it's most needed.
