Pregnancy
The gynecologist who monitors the expectant woman throughout pregnancy, as well as during confinement, is in charge of the care, treatment and prevention of issues that can endanger the fetus and the mother. The obstetrician is familiar with the pathologies and complications that can occur during this demanding period for the future mother’s body. During pregnancy, the specialist would recommend a series of tests and medical checks to monitor the health of the pregnant woman and of the fetus. In addition to standard protocols, the doctor may prescribe any additional investigations, depending on the particularities and context of each case. Effective and constant communication between the obstetrician and the childbearing woman is essential for a seamless pregnancy. Therefore, the doctor-patient relationship needs to be based on trust. The gynecologist shall have a personalized approach, which they adapt along the way.

Childbirth
Childbirth is one of the most important events in a woman’s life, as well as the beginning of a new stage. The process unfolds under the close supervision of the gynecologist. Patients can choose to give birth naturally, or by caesarean section.
Natural childbirth
Vaginal birth is a natural process through which certain physiological changes occur that allow the safe expulsion of the fetus. The process can be exhausting and traumatic, so the childbearing woman shall receive care and support from the medical team.
Birth by caesarean section
Although we encourage natural childbirth, there are medical situations in which this is not recommended, for reasons involving mother and/or baby health. The specialist doctor shall evaluate the case and shall also consider the preference of the future mother. Caesarean section is a surgical procedure that is performed with rachianaesthesia. The patient does not feel pain. The incision is made in the mother’s uterus, and the baby is born surgically. Our intervention rooms are at par with the highest quality standards in the industry, so that new mothers are completely safe when delivering their baby by caesarean section.
Gynecology at Embryos
Gynecology is the medical specialty that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions that can affect the external genitalia (vulva, vagina) or the internal one (uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes) of women. Gynecology also deals with issues related to fertility, contraception, menopause and gynecological cancer. At Embryos, patients benefit from the experience of gynecologists and obstetricians, who offer solutions and treatments for a wide range of conditions.
When do you need to see the obstetrician & gynecologist?
Annual gynecological consultation is recommended and encouraged to monitor women’s health. The gynecologist specializes in diseases of the reproductive system, and can diagnose and establish the therapeutic conduct in case of a disease.
One of the strongest reasons for having an annual gynecological examination is screening for gynecological cancers. Detected in early stages, most gynecological cancers have high survival rates.
