Obstetrics & Gynecology

What’s the difference between obstetrics and gynecology?

Both obstetrics and gynecology are areas of medical specialty focused on women’s health needs. Some practitioners choose to focus on only one area of practice, while others offer both obstetric and gynecologic services.

Gynecology is focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions involving a woman’s urinary and reproductive systems. Routine gynecologic exams play an important role in maintaining good overall health and involve in-depth screening for various conditions. Gynecology also includes family planning services like birth control and fertility care.

Obstetrics focuses on addressing a woman’s needs during all stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Prenatal visits offer essential screenings and developmental checkups and help ensure the health of both mother and baby.

Why is it important to seek OB/GYN care from an established practice?

As with any professional service, choosing a provider with the highest level of skill and experience is the best way to ensure an optimal outcome. That’s especially true in obstetrics and gynecology, two dynamic areas of medicine. The specialists at Gallatin Women’s Center have a great deal of experience and work together to offer unparalleled care to women of all ages.
