Definition of Obstetrician-gynecologist
Obstetrician-gynecologist-
An obstetrician is a
physician who delivers babies and is in the practice of
obstetrics while a gynecologist is a physician who
specializes in treating diseases of the female reproductive
organs. The word 'gynecology' comes from the Greek 'gyno,
gynaikos' meaning woman + 'logia' meaning study, so gynecology
literally is the study of women. These days gynecology
does not address all of women's medicine but focuses on
disorders of the female reproductive organs. An
obstetrician-gynecologist is thus a physician who both
delivers babies and treats diseases of the female
reproductive organs. Abbreviated commonly as OB-GYN.
