“…26 Lastly, the challenges of insufficient ob-gyn availability represent an opportunity to partner with family physicians who would consider providing routine prenatal care with eventual delivery at a metropolitan hospital with more comprehensive services to maximize maternal and newborn safety. 5,27 Conclusions Attracting and retaining doctors in rural settings is complex. This study of mandated responses by general ob-gyns in a large rural state offers insights into rural practitioners.…”

Objective: About one-half of all U.S. counties lack obstetrician-gynecologist (ob-gyns) physicians especially in rural areas. The objective of this study was to use experience in our state to identify demographic and practice characteristics distinguishing ob-gyns in general practice (general ob-gyns) in rural and metropolitan settings. Materials and Methods: This retrospective observational study used self-reported responses by physicians to a mandated survey about demographics and practice patterns at the time of New Mexico medical relicensing. Included in the study were all general ob-gyns in 2016 and 2017. Information about subspecialist ob-gyns and residents who graduated that year was obtained from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education from 2016 to 2019. Results: Nearly 1 in 3 (84 of 273, 30.8%) general ob-gyns practiced in a rural county. Those in rural settings tended to be older (p = 0.02) and male (p = 0.04). Most had practices in both obstetrics and gynecology. Compared with those in metropolitan counties, general ob-gyns in rural counties practiced in smaller groups (p = 0.0003) and worked 40 hours or more weekly (p = 0.0003). All subspecialists practiced in the most populous metropolitan county. No recent residency graduate practiced rurally in New Mexico. Conclusions: General ob-gyns in New Mexico's rural counties practiced in smaller groups and for longer work hours. Rural ob-gyns tended to be older and male.

“…The obstetrician-gynecologist is responsible for identifying and managing the hormonal, obstetric, and gynecological aspects of the disease processes. They are instrumental in diagnosing and treating the underlying conditions that cause the kidney's renal system to become impaired, subsequently helping to protect the kidney from further damage (46,47).…”

Molar pregnancy is an abnormal growth of trophoblastic tissue in the uterus. It can be either complete or partial. In complete moles, the development of the fetus is absent, while partial moles contain an abnormal gestational sac. Choriocarcinoma is a malignant form that arise from molar tissue. Hydatiform mole and choriocarcinoma are rare and complicated diseases with numerous pathological conditions that can lead to significant kidney damage. Proteinuria, nephrotic syndrome, preeclampsia, decreased glomerular filtration rate, interstitial inflammation, crescentic glomerulonephritis, and thrombosis of the renal veins are the commonly encountered renal disorders with these diseases. Early intervention and treatment during pregnancy minimize these risks and lessen the risk of chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal failure. A multidisciplinary team approach involving obstetricians, nephrologists, pathologists, gynecologists, and radiologists is necessary for optimal management.
