Gynaecologists, on the other hand, do not deliver babies or treat pregnant women. They instead focus on the health of the uterus, the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, and other organs of the female reproductive system. Both obstetricians and gynaecologists may prescribe drugs or perform surgery to treat a patient.
