大きな病院では妊娠・出産に関する医療を行う産科医と女性特有の疾患の治療を行う婦人科医に分かれる場合が多く、産婦人科の医院やクリニックなどの開業医の場合には、産科と婦人科の両方の診療を行う場合が多い。
産科医は、妊娠の判定や妊婦への指導などを行う。定期的な妊婦健診で妊婦の健康状態を診断し、必要な場合には治療を行う。高齢での出産、既往症のある妊婦など特別なケアを必要とする出産の場合には、適切な妊娠管理を行う。超音波検査などにより、胎児の診断・管理も行う。自然分娩の場合は産科医の立会いのもとで助産師などのスタッフが行う場合もある。緊急の措置が必要な場合には、産科医が手術を行うこともある。不妊に悩む患者には、原因を調べる検査や妊娠をしやすくするための指導と治療を行うこともある。
婦人科医は、子宮筋腫や卵巣がんなど女性特有の病気や更年期障害の治療を行う。手術をして腫瘍を摘出することもある。内科、外科、内分泌などのさまざまな専門知識を活かして、女性の健康な生活を支える。
