When should you see an obstetrician and gynaecologist?

You would see an obstetrician if you were pregnant and were having your regular check-ups and scans. You would also be treated by an obstetrician if there were any health problems related to being pregnant. You would see a gynaecologist every time you have a gynaecological examination, to have a cervical smear, or to treat any problems related to the female reproductive system and hormonal cycle.
