M.Sc. OBST. and Gynae Nursing or Master of Science in OBST. and Gyane Nursing is a postgraduate Nursing programme. While OBST. here stands for Obstetrics, Gynae stands for Gynaecology, thus these two terms have been used in short but that doesn't make the course different from M.Sc. (Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing) or M.Sc. (Obstetrical & Gynaecological Nursing) or M.Sc. (OBG Nursing). While these are same, certain institutes may use either of the terminologies. Obstetrics and Gynaecology nursing are two related fields of nursing where the practitioners deal with the reproductive health of women. They help women during pregnancy, labor and childbirth, as well as women with health issues with their reproductive system. As a Gynaecology/Obstetrics Nurse, you’ll also teach women, and teenage girls, about physical and sexual health providing information on treatments from birth control to mammograms. The course covers women’s reproductive health, from when menstruation begins, through pregnancy, childbirth, and through menopause. Gynecology nurses can also treat women who suffer from disorders or illnesses affecting their reproductive systems, such as cancer, endometriosis, or sexually transmitted diseases.
