It’s a medical specialty focusing on women’s health, including pregnancy (obstetrics) and the female reproductive system (gynaecology).

OB-GYNs provide a wide range, from routine checkups and preventive care to pregnancy care, childbirth, minimally invasive surgery, and treatment for various gynaecological conditions.

Schedule your first well-woman exam at 13-15 and regularly throughout your life. See an OB-GYN for any concerns about reproductive health, menstruation, or pregnancy planning.

These include irregular periods, pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and difficulty with urination or intercourse.

Depending on your needs, OB-GYNs use tests like Pap smears, pelvic exams, ultrasounds, blood tests, and biopsies.

Ureteroscopy surgery involves using a ureteroscope to examine and treat conditions affecting the ureters, such as stones or tumors.

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.

They can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person, animal, insect bites, or contaminated food and water.

Symptoms vary but often include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, cough, and digestive issues.

Diagnosis involves physical examinations, medical history review, and diagnostic tests such as blood tests, cultures, and imaging.

Treatments may include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiparasitics, and supportive care depending on the type of infection.
