- Adolescent gynecology
- Cancer treatment
- Endocrinology care
- Infertility treatment
- Operative gynecology
- Preventative health

Women may choose an OB-GYN for prenatal care for many reasons, but especially if they:
- Are expecting multiple children.
- Have a preexisting medical condition that could cause pregnancy complications.
- Need to have a C-section delivery, or previously had one.
- Have a history of complicated pregnancies.
Education and Training
The education and training requirements for an OB-GYN are set by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). They include four years of medical school and a residency program focused on reproduction, pregnancy and female medical and surgical conditions. All OB-GYNs are board certified by ABOG, with some completing subspecialty training in gynecologic oncology, maternal-fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, or urogynecology/reconstructive pelvic surgery.
