Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Two medical specialties that deal with female reproductive health are obstetrics and gynaecology. Due to the numerous advancements and changes over the years, it is common for the two specialties to be done in tandem, and the various practitioners to receive joint training. For this reason, they are frequently handled as a single specialty.

What are gynaecologists and obstetricians?

The care of a pregnant woman and her unborn child over the course of her pregnancy and during childbirth is the focus of obstetrics. In order to determine whether the mother is healing appropriately, it also addresses the fetus’s prenatal care and postnatal care. The general word for the diagnosis and treatment of any condition pertaining to the female sexual organs is gynaecology. This branch includes the vaginal, cervix, ovaries, and uterine organs.

Distinct operations carried out by a gynaecologist and an obstetrician An obstetrician also handles the following issues that could come up during childbirth:

  • External Cephalic Version- The term “external cephalic version” in medicine refers to a baby that is turned to face the right direction inside the mother’s womb.
  • Caesarean Birth: An obstetrician performs a surgical delivery of the child when vaginal delivery is not a feasible option.
  • Cervical cerclage: This treatment aims to fortify a woman’s cervix in order to avert miscarriages.

Gynaecology focuses on the medical and surgical management of disorders affecting the female reproductive system. Additionally, gynaecologists are capable of the following procedures:

  • Hysterectomy
  • Laparoscopy
  • Cone Biopsies (removal of precancerous cells in the cervix) 

ONCOLOGY AND GYNECOLOGY What is a Gynecologic Oncologist?

A gynecologic oncologist is a specialist in obstetrics or gynaecology who focuses on the diagnosis, management, and prevention of various reproductive system cancers in women. They handle tumours of the vagina, cervix, endometrium, uterus, and ovaries.

When is the right time to see a gynaecologist? A gynaecologist can be consulted if you have:

  • Unusual bleeding in the vagina
  • Pelvic pain
  • Abnormal menstrual cycle
  • Or any palpable or visible bulge or anomalous growth.

Treatment options for gynecologic cancers vary according on the kind and stage of the disease. Among the treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

Reproductive Medicines

Reproductive medicines are usually taken when one has fertility problems. Medicines and hormone treatments are the most common ways of treating fertility problems. They may also be used for in vitro fertilization or any other reproductive technologies. If the ovulation is irregular or not happening at all, then using hormones and medicines to stimulate ovulation will increase one’s chances of pregnancy. You may consult your doctor first to know if you are likely to have multiple pregnancies.

What kinds of treatments are available for infertility problems?- There are numerous therapy options available for women, including :

  • Clomiphene – Ovulation is triggered by the hormones released when clomiphene is stimulated.
  • Gonadotropins- Hormone injections called gonadotropins cause the ovaries to begin producing mature eggs.
  • Medications for PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome
  • Analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone used in in vitro fertilisation
  • Aromatase inhibitors- Inhibitors of aromatase are occasionally used to induce ovulation.
