Being empathetic and understanding are important qualities for all doctors and it is even more true for the obstetricians and gynaecologists. Pregnancy and childbirth are important milestones in a woman’s life and very emotional phases. So apart from their talent and skill as doctors, the obs-gyn gives a lot of mental support to her patients.

Question 2

Role of a Gynaecologist

Accepted Answer

Gynaecologist is a medical doctor, who specializes in general female health and also reproductive health. Gynaecologists focus on the female reproductive system and such health issues like menstruation, fertility, female contraception and menopause. These doctors diagnose and treat a range of gynaecological conditions too, like pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and sexually transmitted infections too. They even perform routine check-ups and exams like Pap smears, breast and pelvic examination to screen for any potential health problems.

Question 3

Role of an obstetrician

Accepted Answer

Obstetricians are medical doctors, who also specialize in the reproductive health of women. The main job of an obstetrician is to look into pre-conception, pregnancy, childbirth and post-partum issues. They monitor the health of both the mother and the developing foetus throughout the pregnancy process. Obstetricians also look after any complication that may arise during the pregnancy phase. They even provide medical interventions if needed to ensure a safe delivery. Complications during pregnancy and childbirth, such as high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, cord complications, placental disruptions, foetal discomfort are also attended by the obstetrician. Obstetricians are specially trained to perform caesarean operations or even intervene in childbirth as per needs. Some gynaecologists are trained as obtetricians as well so they perform both the roles as “obstetrician-gynaecologist” or “obs-gyn” as they are popularly called.
