Doctors who specialise in female reproduction are known as Obstetricians & Gynaecologists. These two areas are often fused and trained as one. Obstetrics involves looking after the process of pregnancy and delivery in female patients while gynaecology involves the management of problems that arise from the female reproductive organs.
Doctors in this field can also expertly treat many seemingly unrelated problems, such as urinary incontinence in females. The other very important area often investigated and treated is infertility. Menopause issues and women with other sex hormone imbalances can also get the right advice and treatment from the Gynaecologist.
