Overview

Obstetrics are usually the branches of medicine that undertake the care of women during the times of pregnancy and childbirth, and also specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive organs. Other women’s health issues such as menopause, hormone problems, contraception, and infertility are also dealt with in these branches. In short, it is called OB/GYN.

The major difference between these two departments is that Obstetrics revolves around the care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, whereas Gynaecology is involved with the care of reproductive health and the functions and diseases that are exclusive to women and girls.

Aksha Hospital specializes in:

• Maternal-fetal medicine: an obstetrical subspecialty, sometimes referred to as perinatology, that focuses on the medical and surgical management of high-risk pregnancies and surgery on the fetus with the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality.
• Reproductive endocrinology and infertility: a subspecialty that focuses on the biological causes and interventional treatment of infertility
• Gynaecological oncology: a gynaecologic subspecialty focusing on the medical and surgical treatment of women with cancers of the reproductive organs
• Female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery: a gynaecologic subspecialty focusing on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of women with urinary incontinence and prolapse of the pelvic organs. Sometimes referred to by laypersons as "female urology"
• Advanced laparoscopic surgery
• Family planning: a gynaecologic subspecialty offering training in contraception and pregnancy termination (abortion)
• Paediatric and adolescent gynaecology
