What are women's health physicians?
Women's health physicians can diagnose and treat a broad range of medical conditions and significantly focus on obstetrics and gynecology. Obstetrical and gynecological experts – often combined as a single
medical specialty and called OB/GYN doctors – provide medical care for the female
reproductive system. Obstetricians and gynecologists care for patients before,
during and after pregnancy, labor and delivery. Other specialty areas of OB/GYN
medicine and women's health involve perinatology or maternal-fetal medicine for high-risk
pregnancies, infertility, oncology and menopausal care.
