• Beginning when a girl hits puberty and then
  journeying through physical maturity, pregnancy,
  and menopause, the changes a womans body goes
  through are substantial and you need a trained
  professional to be there through those stages -
  sometimes you need a gynecologist, others you
  need an obstetrician. And sometimes (more
  frequently today), the same doctor is both - an
  OB-GYN.

Whats the difference between a Gynecologist and
an Obstetrician?

• A gynecologist focuses on a womans reproductive
  care you go to him/her for routine checkups of
  your reproductive system (vagina, ovaries and
  uterus), infections and fertility-related issues,
  mammograms and pap-smears, consultations on birth
  control ann. menopause, etc. Women ideally start
  seeing a gynecologist from 13-15 years or once
  they become sexually active.
• An obstetricians focus is on pregnant women and
  the fetus itself. They take care of the pre-,
  during, and post-natal care of the mother and
  baby.
• The most essential difference is that
  gynecologists treat diseases in reproductive
  organs while obstetricians do not. In most cases
  however, training in gynecology and obstetrics go
  together, resulting in a combined specialization
  - an OB-GYN.

What can you expect in an OB-GYN appointment?

• For a first appointment, the nurse/doctor will
  take your basic medical history and conduct a
  general health check for their records. This will
  be followed by a physical exterior and interior
  examination of your reproductive system for
  overall health, abnormalities, and indications of
  any diseases, infections and cancers. Any routine
  appointment will include these checks, along with
  a pap-smear, breast check and mammogram, at the
  required intervals.
•  
• If youre pregnant, your appointment will vary to
  include sonograms, etc. to keep track of your and
  your babys health and development.

Find your OB-GYN

• For such a personal (and long-term) doctor, you
  dont want to just pick a name out of a
  book...you want someone you know is good and
  reliable.
• Take personal and professional recommendations
  into account while choosing. Another point to
  consider when choosing is whether your OB-GYN
  offers both services or sticks with one
  speciality.
