Gynecologist vs. Obstetrician: What They Treat & When to See Each

A gynecologist is a medical professional who specializes in the female reproductive system. They can provide a range of services, including:

- Annual check-ups and screenings for sexually transmitted infections, cervical cancer, and other female health conditions

- Family planning services, including birth control, fertility testing, and artificial insemination

- Pregnancy care and delivery

- Treatment for menstrual irregularities, pelvic pain, and other female health problems

However, a gynecologist cannot get you pregnant. If you are trying to conceive, you should speak to your gynecologist about your options. They may recommend fertility testing or refer you to a fertility specialist.
