Obstetrician-gynecologists are also commonly referred to as OBGYNs or OB/GYNs.

Commonly called OB-GYNs

an obstetrician delivers babies. same with ob/gyns. they deliver too.

your mom did atleast once

Obstetricians (also called obstetrician-gynecologists or OB-GYNs)

One may surmise that male Ob/Gyns who have erections would translate into a larger that expected incidence of inappropriate sexual advances. There are essentially no apocryphal tales of such incidents among Ob/Gyns. So I suspect this is rarely an issue. Dentists on the other hand.....

For a baby: Most pediatricians or OB/GYNs can perform a circumcision.

For and adult: A urologist is the doctor to consult.

OB-GYN, OB-GYNs are doctors who have completed four years of training in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

At my local hospital that came into my school gyns and obstetricians made like 250,000 dollars. (Somewhere around that ball park).

Yes, obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs) are specialized doctors who provide medical care for women, particularly during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period. They work closely with pregnant women, monitoring their health throughout pregnancy, and assisting in the delivery of the baby. OB-GYNs are trained to handle various complications and ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby during childbirth.

ok so when i read the answer to this question i though hummm yea that's not right. so heres the right answer:

Ob/Gyn should expect to receive benefits, such as medical care, holiday pay, and paid vacations. Approximately 86 percent of Ob/Gyns have at least medical care. A relatively small percentage of Ob/Gyns (13 percent) do not have any health benefits at all according to the PayScale website.

The career for delivering babies is called obstetrics or obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN). OB/GYNs are medical doctors who specialize in caring for pregnant women and delivering babies.

The majority of OB/GYNs recommend to wait a minimum of 6 months before conceiving again.

OB/GYNs, short for obstetricians and gynecologists. The salary for these professionals depends on their geographical location and type of employer. The minimum wage for an OB/GYN doctor is around $15,000-$20,000 a month.

Obstetricians and gynecologists. Obstetricians and gynecologists (ob/gyns) are specialists whose focus is women's health. They are responsible for general medical care for women, but also provide care related to pregnancy and the reproductive system. Like general practitioners, ob/gyns are concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of general health problems, but they focus on ailments specific to the female anatomy, such as breast and cervical cancer, urinary tract and pelvic disorders, and hormonal disorders. Ob/gyns also specialize in childbirth, treating and counseling women throughout their pregnancy, from giving prenatal diagnoses to delivery and postpartum care. Ob/gyns track the health of, and treat, both mother and fetus as the pregnancy progresses.

Many physicians-primarily general and family practitioners, general internists, pediatricians, ob/gyns, and psychiatrists-work in small private offices or clinics, often assisted by a small staff of nurses and other administrative personnel. Increasingly, physicians are practicing in groups or health care organizations that provide backup coverage and allow for more time off. These physicians often work as part of a team coordinating care for a population of patients; they are less independent than solo practitioners of the past. Surgeons and anesthesiologists typically work in well-lighted, sterile environments while performing surgery and often stand for long periods. Most work in hospitals or in surgical outpatient centers. Many physicians and surgeons work long, irregular hours. Over one-third of full-time physicians and surgeons worked 60 hours or more a week in 2004. Only 8 percent of all physicians and surgeons worked part-time, compared with 16 percent for all occupations. Physicians and surgeons must travel frequently between office and hospital to care for their patients. Those who are on call deal with many patients' concerns over the phone and may make emergency visits to hospitals or nursing homes.

there are to types of female doctors one is gyn : gynecology which deals with the female reproductive system. the other which your inquiring about is ob: which stands for obstetics. obstetrician is a physician who has successfully completed specialized education and training in the management of pregnancy, labor, and pueperium (the time-period directly following childbirth).

A gynecologist is a physician who has a successfully completed specialized education and training in the health of the female reproductive system, including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases.

Typically, the education and training for both fields occurs concurrently. Thus, an obstetrician/gynecologist is a physician specialist who provides medical and surgical care to women and has particular expertise in pregnancy, childbirth, and disorders of the reproductive system. This includes preventative care, prenatal care, detection of sexually transmitted diseases, Pap test screening, and family planning.

An obstetrician/gynecologist, commonly abbreviated as OB/GYN, can serve as a primary physician and often serve as consultants to other physicians. OB/GYNs can have private practices, work in hospital or clinic settings, and maintain teaching positions at university hospitals. OB/GYNs may also work public health and preventive medicine administrations.

OB/GYNs have a broad base of knowledge and can vary their professional focus. Many develop unique practices, providing high-quality health care for women. OB/GYNs may choose to specialize in the following areas:

Acute and chronic medical conditions Adolescent gynecology Behavioral problems Cancer Endocrinology Health maintenance during pregnancy Infertility Operative gynecology Pregnancy and delivery Preventative health Urinary tract disorders obstetician which is what the doctor is called

Can they? In theory, yes, as all of them should have learned basic obstetrics during their medical or osteopathic school training. Are they allowed to? It depends upon what their hospital privileges are. Some hospitals allow GPs (general practitioners) or FPs (family practitioners) to deliver babies. Others only allow specialists in obstetrics (OB/GYNs) to deliver. Yet others will allow nurse midwives (under the supervision of doctors) to perform deliveries. OB/GYNs are doctors who (in the US) have done four years of additional training in their specialty of obstetrics and gynecology. FPs usually do several months of obstetric training during their three year residency. GPs are doctors without specialty training who did a year's internship after medical school, usually including a few months of obstetric training.

Yes, any of the following antacids are tradionally ok by most ob/gyns, but check with yours to be 100% sure. Alternagel, Amphogel, Maalox, Mylanta, Pepcid, Piopan, Rolaids, Tagamet, Tums, Zantac The following should not be used during pregnancy: AlkaSeltzer, PeptoBismol (they both contain aspirin)

An OB/GYN is a medical doctor that specializes in treatment of the female reproductive tract. Obstetrics is the part involving the prenatal care and delivery, gynecology is everything else. OB/GYNs do work in clinics doing exams, of the vagina/ovaries/etc, but they can also operate, doing procedures such as hysterctomies, tubal ligation, ovarian cyst removal, abortions etc.

A nurse practitioner typically provides primary care and preventive services, while an OB/GYN specializes in women's reproductive health and childbirth. OB/GYNs perform surgeries and deliver babies, while nurse practitioners focus on diagnosing and treating various health conditions.

Well, I certainly hope you've not had those tubes tied, as you've only one person to live the rest of your life with...YOU, so you must do what makes you happiest, and not give in to pressure, do what you feel is best, as the odds of having another pregnancy after a tubal are around 1 in 200!

No. There are often conscience clauses that allow people to not perform surgeries that are against their will.

However all ob/gyns should get training on abortions in case they need to help terminate an incomplete abortion - a miscarriage gone wrong to save the life/uterus of a woman. But NOT all ob/gyn programs require that training or provide it.

Medical Students for Choice might have more information on which residencies require abortion training.

It stands for "Diploma of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists," a professional medical association for OB/GYNs & Women's Health specialists in the United Kingdom. However, the "official" abbreviation/post-nominal suffix awarded after certification is "DObst RCOG." A physician/general practitioner would earn this certification if s/he wishes to certify their advanced training and education in obstetrics, gynecology and women's health.

I hope this helps and answers your question.

Not in the least. The tendency for the last 6,000 years or so has been to become increasingly specialized. The Shaman of 6,000 years ago was a priest, counselor and doctor. Later, we had three different people for those three roles.

Nowadays, we have Youth Ministers and Marriage Counselors and OB/GYNs and a 1,000 more variations. That's just from that one original job.

Technology increasing is also creating new specialities. And that shows no sign of slowing down.

Women who douche get more bacterial vaginosis and more pelvic inflammatory disease than women who don't douche. If you took a survey of 1000 female GYNs and women's health care providers, I don't think you'd find any who douche. Ironically, it can cause problems with increased vaginal discharge and odor.

If you experience abnormal vaginal discharge, odor, or pelvic pain, see your health care provider for an exam. And stop buying douche. LOL

The Depoprovera injection is a very reliable form of birth control. However, when planning on eventually conceiving a child, this will all depend on how long you have been on Depoprovera. Usage time of 1 - 3 years, expect a wait time of your cycle returning to normal atleast 6 to 12 months. 3 - 6 years 12 to 18 months etc... Nowadays, many ob/gyns limit the time you can remain on the injection unless you are very persistent and trouble/symption free.

Midwives may work with a variety of people, depending on their practice. Some midwives work in conjunction with other midwives or with physicians (usually OB-GYNs but also family practice, etc.) Some midwives have apprentices who are studying to become midwives. Some hire assistants or doulas, and some work with registered nurses. A midwife may work alone or in group practices.

She/he is someone who takes care of women's personal and female problems. They make sure that you get a pap every year and that there is nothing going on that is unusal. they also are also ob gyn which take care of pregnant women. making sure everything is going the right way, that your baby is okay, that you are okay, they you are taking care of you and your baby. A gynecologist is a doctor specializing in the female reproductive tract. They treat an extensive array of diseases and problems (far beyond the pap smear, although that is the most common reason women visit the gyn.) An obstetrician is a doctor specializing in delivering babies. Many doctors (called ob/gyns) do both, but certainly not all.

In terms of timing, if you have at least a week, all methods are availble to you, although there may be other reasons why one method is a better choice for you than another. Most reliable is abstinence from vaginal sex. If you've been apart for a while, condoms are a great idea (no disrespect to your partner is intended). If you start on hormonal birth control right now, the longest wait to have sex with full protection is one week. If you need something long-term, the IUD might be good, but most private GYNs wouldn't be able to get you in within your time frame. Best wishes to you during your reunion!

It drives costs up by its impact on insurance premiums. A doctor or hospital must have insurance to protect against being held liable for all the exposures that are part of what they do. Therefore the rates they charge need to include that expense along with everything else like rent, utilities, supplies, payroll etc.

That is why OB/GYNs are in short supply. The threat of liability is so high because jurys like to blame doctors when a child is born less than perfect and award millions of dollars in damages.. Therefore the cost of malpractice insurance is very high. Consequently they much charge more to pay that high premium.

56 yrs old female with Barretts, GI doctor has made orders for MRI and blood work in 2 weeks for possible gastrointestinal amyloidosis. Started pooping black yesterday and today. Should I go to ER?

Many Ob/Gyns are very busy and may not have room in their practice for another patient.

Another reason could be that a person seeking prenatal care late in the course of the pregnancy is considered a high risk pregnancy. They do not know how you have been doing throughout the course of your pregnancy, they do not know your risk factors, they do not know your history. They cannot ensure that you have been doing the appropriate things for your unborn child. That is a lot of risk you are asking them to take on by showing up on their doorstep late in your pregnancy, since they essentially have 18+ years of liability.

Would you want that kind of responsibility when you had no say in the early stages and no opportunity to make healthful changes?

a little more than 50% but now women make up about 505 of new students. So soon they will be about even.

You must remember that even 20 years ago, most medical student were male. In the late 1970s it was common that an incoming class of 40 or 50 medical students would include only or three women. Those are the physicians who are practicing today, which is why there are many male practitioners in the specialty. As male:female ratios have changed in medical school admissions, residencies in OB-Gyn as of 2008 were nearly 92% female. This trend is expected to continue. Interestingly, a 2007 study indicated that 47% of women prefer a female OB-Gyn, 25% prefer a male, and 28% don't care.

The concept that women who have insertion of a TCu 380A IUD at the age of 25 years or older could use this IUD as a reversible but permanent method of contraception up to the menopause continues to be supported by the accumulation of evidence, although definitive evidence remains to be obtained.

The FDA has approved the Paragard for 10 years, but research shows that it is good for 12 and counting. Reputable contraceptive information sites now list it as good for twelve years. Ob/gyns are beginning to leave them in longer, in particular for women approaching menopause. Several women on the IUDiva's forum report having them in for as long as 15 years.

As of January 2012, the manufacturer of the Paragard Copper T IUD recommends replacing it after ten years. Please consult your medical care provider to see what will work best for you.

Menopause can happen pretty much anytime after about 35 years old. As the estrogen & Testosterone start to slowly decline over time, the body enters early stage menopause, often called Peri-menopause.

Contrary to the general thinking, Menopause is not an event, it is a process, with VERY imprecise parameter's. Best to think of it this way, If you are having symptoms, you are on the road to menopause, get ready for the Hot Flashes, night sweats, joint pain, insomnia, loss of libido, vaginal dryness & moody, irritable & cranky.

Your Dr will do a Blood Test for you, that measures FSH & Estrogen. Most don't know to look at your TESTOSTERONE, but your body makes Estrogen from Testosterone & if that is low, your symptoms will be worse.

Think seriously about doing Hormone Replacement Therapy, with what is called Pellet Therapy, The estrogen most OB/GYNs prescribe is SYNTHETIC & has been linked to cancer.

There are no studies on this subject matter. To be perfectly honest it's an ignorant question and I have a feeling whoever asked is in fact an idiot. Doctors operating under hospitals undergo a series background checks, including criminal records, they also take an oath. Even a doctor running their own practice faces scrutiny from insurance companies,who also perform background checks, as they do not want to send their clients to perverts, that could be a legal issue.If a physician is found guilty of a sexual offense, they will most certainly have their license revoked, or, at the very least, be unable to seek employment. So virtually there are no ob-gyns out there who study for almost a decade just so they can indulge in perverted fantasies of scoping out underage snatch, as most people who visit are women, not children, which is what a pedophile is sexually attracted to.In fact, you twit, a gynecologists office is the last place a pedophile would want to be, there is nothing there that fulfills anything for them.If there have been incidents legal action would be taken and the doctor would most certainly not be practicing legally. You are a fool

First of all, track your weight (groan) over the last years. Second - list ALL your health-issues and diagnoses (these are often called "co-morbidities). Many of these illnesses can be attributed to your weight, even if your doctor has not made the immediate connection. These can include: Diabetes or blood sugar issues, hypertension or high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, shortness of breath, sleep apnea, sleep disturbances, heart conditions, back problems, knee and joint problems, chiropractic ailments, gynecological illnesses including hormonal trouble, PCOS and much more. Third - get Letters of Support from all your doctors from chiropractic, to family doctors or PCPs and even OB/Gyns, allergists, Ear Nose and Throat specialists etc. These letters don't have to say they recommend the LapBand (though it would be great) but they should say that losing significant weight would improve your health and illnesses in their clinical opinion. Get as many strong letters as you can. Submit them all with your weight history and list of illnesses. Along with your weight loss surgeon's file for you - this should help to speed up your surgery approval. Good Luck! I know these techniques work, first hand. --- From a Veteran & LapBander (Past Goal Weight) who has worked: insurance companies, doctors offices/clinics and the industry in general.
