4 OB/GYN Overview Obstetrics OB is short for obstetrics or for an obstetrician, a physician who delivers babies Gynecology GYN is short for gynecology or for a gynecologist, a physician who specializes in treating diseases of the female reproductive organs. The gynecology come from the Greek gyno, gynaikos meaning woman + logia meaning study, so gynecology literally is the study of women. These days gynecology is focused largely on disorders of the female reproductive organs.
