gynekologporodník
Gynekologporodník is a medical professional who specializes in the care of women's reproductive health, including pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. The term is derived from the Czech language, where "gynekolog" refers to a gynecologist, and "porodník" refers to a midwife. In some countries, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, gynekologporodník is a recognized medical specialty that combines the skills and knowledge of both gynecologists and midwives.
The role of a gynekologporodník encompasses a wide range of services, including:
- Preconception counseling and fertility treatments
- Prenatal care, including regular check-ups and monitoring of the mother and fetus
- Management of pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes and hypertension
- Labor and delivery support, including both medical and natural childbirth options
- Postpartum care, including recovery from childbirth and breastfeeding support
- Contraception and family planning advice
- Menstrual and reproductive health issues, such as menstrual disorders, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Gynekologporodníks are trained to provide comprehensive care throughout a woman's reproductive life, from adolescence to menopause.
