Neurology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system—including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. What Neurologists Treat: Stroke: Interruption of blood flow to the brain, causing brain damage. Epilepsy: Repeated seizures from abnormal brain activity. Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Autoimmune damage to nerve coverings in the central nervous system. Alzheimer’s Disease: Progressive memory and cognitive decline. Parkinson’s Disease: Movement disorder with tremors, stiffness, and balance issues. Migraines & Headaches: Chronic or severe head pain. Neuropathy: Nerve damage causing pain, numbness, or weakness. Neurogenetic Disorders: Nerve conditions caused by genetic mutations. Neurologists use MRI, CT scans, EEG, and other tests for diagnosis. Treatments may include medications, therapy, or surgery. Continuous research is advancing the field and improving outcomes.

Gynecology & Obstetrics: A Quick Overview Gynecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and breasts. Gynecologists treat menstrual issues, fertility problems, infections, pelvic pain, and reproductive cancers. Obstetrics deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Obstetricians monitor both mother and baby during pregnancy, manage labor and delivery (including cesareans), and handle complications. OB/GYN combines both fields. These specialists provide complete care for women—ranging from routine exams and family planning to pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal support. Key Areas of OB/GYN Care: Prenatal check-ups Labor & delivery management Postpartum support Gynecological exams (Pap smears, pelvic exams) Family planning & contraception Regular visits to an OB/GYN ensure women’s reproductive health is well-managed through every stage of life.
