By Anita Ortega


Women are very sensitive and very concerned about their health at all times. Whenever they feel a little pain anywhere, they eventually look for someone who happens to be an expert. Especially during pregnancy. You should expect every pregnant woman to be very sensitive with what they hear, how they feel and what they eat.


They are considered to be the only ones who can relate to how women react over matters that men can not explain nor understand. Waco Ob Gyn specializes on the health of women. They have undergone proper training for them to be able to diagnose them properly and do necessary tests. One of the most in demand service that these professionals attend to is the prenatal care where they assist pregnant women. They also follow procedures to test if a woman has a sexually transmitted disease, do a pap test, and give advices for family planning.

The full title for these experts is called obstetrical gynecologist. The two words actually has two different meanings as well. Gynecologist is the one who has completed specialized training and education of the female reproductive system. Included in their training and education would be treatment and diagnosis of diseases and disorders.

Obstetrician on the other hand is the one who has finished education and training on things related to pregnancy, pueperioum or the time period following childbirth and labor. Although they have two different meanings, you rarely see someone who is an obstetrician alone or just a gynecologist. Most of the time, they really come as one.

They not just handle patients. They are also consultants for other doctors in different fields. They take a look at some things that are in lined with their specialization when a doctor from a different field seeks their help and advice. People in the medical field really work hand in hand. To gain more experience, some of them work as resident doctors in public hospitals. This is a way for them to sharply test themselves.

After their education and training, they still need to take some certification exams. Once they have successfully passed the examination, that is the only time that they are allowed to do actual practice privately, have their own clinic, or do further practice as resident doctors. Those who had their certification after 1986 are required to take the re certification exams every after 10 years.

One of their main responsibility and on of the most in demand service they have is the prenatal care. They assist and advice pregnant women. They are the ones who check on the current state of both the mother and the baby.

When the pregnancy reaches the third trimester, doctors ask them to come more frequently. They need to be scheduled once a week. During this time, the baby is already formed and might come out sooner than expected

You do not have to be a female if you are planning to take this profession. All it takes is your passion. There are a lot of male gynecologists who has done their job as good and sometimes even better than a female ob gyn.
