Can you be ob without GYN?
Obstetrics is the surgical field that deals in childbirth, whereas gynecology is the field of medicine concerned with women's health, especially their reproductive health. One can be a gynecologist and not an obstetrician, though one cannot be an obstetrician without being a gynecologist.
Are all obstetricians gynecologists?
What's the difference between obstetricians and gynecologists? While OB/GYN is considered one specialty, it comprises two distinct fields. Obstetrics (the OB) involves care during pre-conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and immediately after delivery. Gynecology (the GYN) involves care of all women's health issues.

How often should I see a gynecologist?
Women over 21 years old should visit their OBGYN once a year for an annual exam, which includes a pelvic and breast exam. Pap tests are performed every 3-5 years depending on your history. Women with HPV will need to come in more regularly for pap tests.
