Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology

What is Obstetrics & Gynaecology?

Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty dedicated to the comprehensive healthcare of women, particularly focusing on the female reproductive system. The specialty is twofold. Obstetrics deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and baby. Gynaecology deals with the health of the female reproductive organs (uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes) and covers all other aspects of a woman's health from puberty through menopause and beyond. An OB-GYN is a physician trained to provide a wide range of services, from preventive care to complex surgery.

Common Conditions Managed

This specialty covers a woman's health throughout her entire life:

  • ✓Obstetrics:
    • ✓Routine and High-Risk Pregnancy Care.
    • ✓Management of Labour and Delivery.
    • ✓Postpartum Care.
  • ✓Gynaecology:
    • ✓Menstrual Disorders: Including heavy bleeding, irregular periods, and painful periods.
    • ✓Uterine Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts.
    • ✓Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
    • ✓Infections of the reproductive tract.
    • ✓Infertility.
    • ✓Cancers of the reproductive organs (e.g., cervical, uterine, ovarian cancer).
    • ✓Menopause Management.

Diagnostic and Treatment Approaches

Preventive care is a cornerstone of gynaecology, with routine pelvic exams and Pap smears for cervical cancer screening being essential. Ultrasound is a key diagnostic tool in both obstetrics (to monitor fetal growth) and gynaecology (to visualize the uterus and ovaries). Treatments are diverse. Many gynaecological conditions can be managed with medication. For pregnancy, care is focused on regular monitoring to ensure a healthy outcome. Childbirth is managed to ensure safety for both mother and child, with options like epidural analgesia for pain relief. When surgery is needed, modern gynaecology emphasizes minimally invasive procedures. Laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery) is commonly used to perform procedures like hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) or removal of ovarian cysts, which allows for a much faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
