“OB/GYN” stands for obstetrics and gynecology, 2 related but distinct fields. While gynecologists specialize in women’s reproductive health, obstetricians are specially trained to safely guide mothers-to-be through pregnancy from conception through delivery and the postpartum period. Many practitioners specialize both in obstetrics and gynecology, and others specialize even further, such as gynecologic oncologists (physicians who treat women with precancerous and cancerous gynecological conditions).

We offer the following OB/GYN services at Kern Medical:

Urogynecology including incontinence, pelvic floor disorders and complex reconstructive surgery
Gynecologic Oncology
Minimally invasive and robotic surgery
Genetic counseling

Infertility services and reproductive endocrinology

Importance of Routine Gynecology Care

Regular gynecology checkups are important for women to maintain their reproductive health. While not all gynecological screening procedures are needed every year, experts recommend women should see their gynecologist once a year for health screenings. Routine health screenings start with a general exam, where you can discuss your health concerns, receive a screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs or STDs), and receive non-invasive cancer screenings. Pelvic exams are sometimes recommended as a way to screen for uterine or ovarian cancer in its early stages when it is usually asymptomatic and much harder to detect.
