Knowing the Facts obgyns.
The term "OBGYN" is an abbreviation referring to the medical specialties of obstetrics and gynecology. Obstetrics is the field of medicine that trains physicians to take care of pregnant patients and deliver babies. Gynecology is the field of medicine that trains physicians to diagnose and treat disorders of the female reproductive organs. Medical doctors often train in both specialties concurrently because both intimately deal with the anatomy, function and pathophysiology of the female reproductive tract.
