About Gynecologist
A doctor who specializes in women's reproductive health is a gynecologist.
- Obstetricians
Obstetricians look after women during their pregnancy and when the baby is born. They also deliver babies.
- Ob-gyn
An ob-gyn is qualified to do all of these things.
An ob-gyn deals with some of the most significant health issues in your life, comprising birth control, childbirth, and menopause. An ob-gyn can also screen for cancer, treat infections, and perform surgery for pelvic organ or urinary tract problems.

- Cancer and pre-cancerous diseases of the female organs including ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, uterus, cervix, and vulva
