Local Obstetrics & Gynaecology in Mcmahons Point NSW

What do obstetricians and gynaecologists do?

Obstetrics and gynaecology are two specialties in medicine that deal with the female reproductive organs.

The training of these two practices is among the longest in Australia within medical fields. Physicians train for six years for obstetrics and gynaecology. In addition, they may undertake further studies for sub-specialties such as surgery on the foetus or paediatric and adolescent gynaecology.

Obstetrics clinics provide medical care to the women’s reproductive system. This includes prenatal care and preventative care. An obstetrics hospital may provide surgical care for high-risk pregnancies and pre-natal babies.

Gynaecology services and clinics may provide preventative care, family planning and detect sexually transmitted diseases for women. Typically a gynaecological assessment is conducted, including diagnostic investigations to find abnormal symptoms.
