FAQs

Are obstetricians and gynecologists the same? ›

Obstetricians do not treat health issues beyond pregnancy. Gynecologists, on the other hand, do not deliver babies or treat pregnant women. They instead focus on the health of the uterus, the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, and other organs of the female reproductive system.

We found 5606 obstetrician-gynecologists in Texas. The average patient rating of obstetrician-gynecologists in this region is 4.49 stars. 1967 of these doctors practice at a U.S. News Best Regional Hospital.

An obstetrician provides care during pregnancy and delivers babies. A gynecologist doesn't treat people who are pregnant or deliver babies, but specializes in the female reproductive system. It's common for healthcare providers to combine these two areas of medicine. This is called obstetrics and gynecology or Ob/Gyn.

Gynaecologists diagnose and treat conditions specific to women. They can offer medical, hormonal and surgical treatments. Gynaecologists see their patients in a clinic or surgery and many operate in both public and private hospitals.

An OB-GYN can handle pregnancy complications, such as signs of fetal distress, preeclampsia, placenta issues, and ectopic pregnancies. They are trained to make deliveries via Cesarean section as well as vagin*l births. For all other health-care concerns related to women's health, a gynecologist is a good choice.

Do I have to go to the gynecologist? Gynecologists specialize in women's sexual and reproductive health care. Physicians who specialize in men's sexual and reproductive health care — including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the male sex and reproductive organs — are called urologists.

Doctors called urogynecologists, or urogyns, receive special training to diagnose and treat women with pelvic floor disorders. Speak with a urogyn and find out how to improve your quality of life by treating your incontinence or prolapse issues.

Salaries range from $240,000 in the 10th percentile to $540,632 in the 90th percentile. Salaries vary by region, with West, South, and Midwest offering higher incomes. Washington and Colorado are the top-paying states for OB/GYNs, while Iowa and Mississippi are the lowest-paying states.

The average age of OB-GYNs is 51 years old, which is concerning, as most OB-GYNs begin to retire at 59. Our analysis found that the average age of OB-GYNs ranged from 52.69 in Pittsburgh to 48.93 in Houston. Nationally, there is a yearly average of 105 births per OB-GYN.

Can a gynaecologist prescribe medication? ›

If a woman is postmenopausal and has dryness, it can be due to low estrogen, and her gynecologist can prescribe vagin*l estrogen. Pain during sex: If you're experiencing pain during sex, try different positions to find one where you feel comfortable.

Obstetrics is the surgical field that deals in childbirth, whereas gynecology is the field of medicine concerned with women's health, especially their reproductive health. One can be a gynecologist and not an obstetrician, though one cannot be an obstetrician without being a gynecologist.

It's important to see an obstetrician as soon as possible so that they can provide the care and support you need. Second, think about your personal health history and any risks associated with your pregnancy.
