Gynae and obstetrics
Obstetrics and gynecology are medical specialties that focus on two different aspects of
the female reproductive system. At Virginia Beach OBGYN we provide care to women in all
phases of their lives whether they are having a baby or are past menopause.
Obstetrics deals with the care of the pregnant women, the unborn baby,
labor and delivery and the immediate period following childbirth. The obstetrician
ensures that mother and child get the best prenatal care to ensure labor and delivery is
accomplished without complications and that should intervention be needed, it is done
quickly and safely.
Gynecology deals with any ailment concerning the reproductive organs;
uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, ovaries and vagina. A gynecologist may also treat
related problems in the bowel, bladder and urinary system since these are closely
related to female reproductive organs.
