Gynaecology-Obstetrics is the medical specialty dedicated to women's health, accompanying them from adolescence to menopause.
It covers two main areas:
-
Gynaecology, which focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive system (uterus, ovaries, vagina, vulva and breast);
-
Obstetrics, which monitors pre-delivery, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby.
This specialty works closely with the Imaging and Clinical Analysis departments, among others, ensuring multidisciplinary and integrated care. For cases of postnatal depression, psychiatric care is also available.
