An OB-GYN, or obstetrician-gynecologist, is a doctor who specializes in the health of women. They provide care for women of all ages, from puberty through menopause and beyond. OB-GYNs can diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Pregnancy and childbirth
  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • Cancer of the reproductive organs
  • Endometriosis
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  • Infertility
  • Menopause
  • Hormone imbalances
  • Vaginal infections
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Pap smears and other cancer screenings

OB-GYNs can also provide routine medical care, such as physical exams, blood work, and vaccinations. They can also offer advice on a variety of women’s health topics, such as contraception, childbirth, and menopause.

If you are a woman, it is important to have a regular relationship with an OB-GYN. They can help you stay healthy and provide you with the care you need throughout your life.
