What Is a Ob-gyn?

An OB-GYN (obstetrician-gynecologist) is a dual-specialty physician who provides comprehensive care spanning both obstetrics and gynaecology. This means they manage everything from routine prenatal visits and childbirth to menstrual health, contraception, and menopause management. OB-GYNs are uniquely positioned to offer continuity of care — the same doctor who performs your annual well-woman exam can also guide you through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery. They are trained to handle a wide range of surgical and medical interventions, including C-sections, hysterectomies, and minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. For many women, an OB-GYN serves as their primary care provider for reproductive and sexual health across every life stage.
