Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics Dra. Gómez Roig

Obstetrics is the part of the obstetrics and gynecology speciality that is responsible for monitoring and also taking care of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.

In pregnancy control, as well as in the delivery and postpartum care that we carry out at the Dra. Gómez Roig Institute in Barcelona, ​​we also differentiate between low and high risk pregnancy in the field of obstetrics.

Adapting the follow-up protocols to the obstetric risk is important to carry out correct counseling. On the other hand, working in a center with a Neonatal and Adult Intensive Care Unit makes it possible to carry higher-risk pregnancies with support and peace of mind.

Pregnancy control

Periodic visits should be made during pregnancy to keep a good pregnancy control. During obstetric visits, lifestyle advice is given that helps the woman and fetus have better well-being. How we care for our child during pregnancy can influence her health even in adulthood.

Obstetrics takes care of a vital moment for our child, where they form and grow inside the womb, and also what happens in their environment has a direct impact on their future strength.

To improve the experience of the woman and her companion, we offer a new and updated program of Maternal Education and Childbirth Preparation. In this program, a multidisciplinary team of midwives, physiotherapists, nurses, pediatricians and obstetricians guide and advise you throughout the entire pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum process.

Childbirth

The moment of childbirth, a unique experience for the mother and also her family, is also part of obstetrics. Combining personalized safe care and, at the same time, respecting the woman's good experience, is a priority to have a good memory, as well as good results.

Postpartum

After childbirth, the puerperium period begins. This postpartum stage is also part of obstetrics. Sometimes, the woman has little previous information regarding the puerperium, which does not help to face it as it should. After the birth of our child there may be moments of exhaustion, sadness due to a drop in hormones, problems with lactation, pain at some point if you have had them and also other unfavorable factors. Although all your companions take it for granted that it is a moment of happiness, you should rely on your family after the birth to be able to carry out the first days with less fatigue and optimism.

A follow-up in a specialized center such as the Dra. Gómez Roig Institute with gynecologists, obstetricians and midwives will help you face the different stages that obstetrics care for naturally, safely and with greater peace of mind. With the right information, it is always easier to move forward in this unique experience of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium.

Gynecology is the part of the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology that is responsible for caring for the sexual and reproductive health of women.

On Dra. Gómez Roig Institute, located in Barcelona, ​​we have specialists not only in gynecology, but also in obstetrics, psychology and sexuality necessary for comprehensive care for women.

What is gynecology?

Gynecology is the medicine that covers preventive medicine, as well as the diagnosis and also the treatment of diseases of women's sexual organs.

For this reason, it serves women in all stages of their lives. The gynecologist may have to visit girls of pediatric age, adolescents, women of reproductive age or menopause.

What diseases does gynecology treat?

The diseases that gynecology treats include the organs that can become sick and require attention by this specialist. In gynecology, affections of the breast, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, as well as the vagina and vulva are diagnosed and treated.

Sometimes there is no direct disease associated with a sexual or reproductive organ. And gynecology must treat functional disorders such as Menstrual disorders and infertility and sterility problems.

Emotions and sexuality should also always be considered in the field of gynecology through psychology and sexology.

Possible women's problems that require gynecology are, among many others, endometriosis, menstrual pain, polycystic ovary syndrome, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Gynecologists are also experts in menopause, pelvic organ prolapse, urine incontinence, and gynecological cancer.

The specialists and gynecologists located at the Dra. Gómez Roig Institute in Barcelona are also accompanied by midwives who help with sexual education, preventive medicine of sexually transmitted diseases and human papillomavirus vaccination.

Gynecological visits also include good information and advice on family planning, a good choice of contraception method adapted to each person, and the correct use of birth control pills.

Most of the specialists in gynecology are also surgeons who operate and solve problems such as ovarian cysts, polyps, myomas or fibroids and also other affectations.

Women's health care is a basic pillar in this specialty that affects their entire personal, family and professional environment.

Having a trusted professional who is an expert in gynecology is essential to be able to carry out preventive medicine and invest in health.

Infertility and sterility are areas of study and treatment within the specialty of gynecology.

Among the possible problems that a woman and her partner can experience during their reproductive stage there is infertility and also sterility.

Both affectations should be consulted and studied with a good specialist, be it a female or male gynecologist.

What is infertility?

We talk about infertility when a couple or a woman gets pregnant, but they do not manage to bring the pregnancy to term and therefore do not end up having a baby.

Sometimes it is due to genetic problems, circulatory problems or health conditions of the parents. Despite this, the cause is not always easy to find and complementary studies are required to diagnose the reason and be able to treat it.

What is sterility?

The concept of sterility is different from that of infertility, and defines the cases in which the couple or the woman cannot get pregnant despite trying over time.

It is necessary for the woman to come to the consultation with her partner so that the studies and also the tests can be carried out on both.

In women, the hormones and the capacity of the ovaries to produce ovulations and follicles are studied. The shape and functionality of the fallopian tubes and the uterus are also looked at. The gynecological examination helps to know the state of health of the woman at the reproductive level.

To study the male factor, the main test is the study of semen in terms of number and functionality of the sperm. The semen collection conditions must be specific and therefore it is necessary that the person be well informed to ensure a good result.

Usually these types of problems, such as infertility and sterility, affect both partners emotionally out of despair. A psychological support for the couple can help to reach the course of study and treatments with greater strength and optimism.

Many times, to solve the sterility studies, diagnoses and treatments are made, such as assisted reproductive techniques. These treatments include conjugal or donor artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and other complementary techniques.

It is essential to go to a specialized and trusted center to obtain good results.

Psychology and sexology are specialties that take care of the mental and emotional health of people at somewhat unfavorable times in our lives.

In the case of sexology, emotional help tools are usually given to improve the sexual satisfaction of the woman or the couple.

Both disciplines are an essential support, sometimes, in the comprehensive care of women.

For this reason, in the field of gynecology and obstetrics, we sometimes request help from psychology and sexology to help solve problems or to accompany women in a more professional way.

Psychology and obstetrics

In obstetrics, that is, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum or puerperium care, psychology can help in various situations.

There is pregnancy psychology to help emotional changes related to existing hormonal variations at this time in a woman's life.

On the other hand, it is not unknown that in the puerperium, after the birth of the baby, there may be a natural predisposition for the mother's mood to worsen. The decrease in estrogen, abundant hormones in pregnancy that decrease sharply after the baby and placenta are delivered, implies a greater predisposition to sadness and even postpartum depression if it lasts over time.

Postpartum depression must be monitored and adequate attention must also be paid to it so that it does not become complicated in the long term.

Women with unfavorable obstetric history can also benefit from psychological support when facing a new pregnancy.

Psychology and gynecology

Women and gynecology diseases may also require psychology. There are cases of gynecological cancer that must be accompanied psychologically to improve emotions, security and even results of this type of disease.

Other groups of women or couples that can benefit from psychological support are cases of infertility and sterility. When a pregnancy is not achieved, or it does not reach its end repeatedly, the woman and her partner are exposed to a difficult situation and emotional risk.

Psychology and sexology is also responsible for providing support in sexuality, Couple troubles. In cases of sexual dysfunction it is this specialty that diagnoses and also treats this problem.

In gynecology and obstetrics centers it is recommended that psychology and sexology resources are also available to offer comprehensive care to women and their partners.
