Women with bleeding disorders wait 14 to 16 years for a diagnosis. Men with the same conditions wait two. A new Lancet Commission just named this as a global health failure.

That's the same wait time men currently experience. Two years instead of fourteen. That's the benchmark they're trying to match.

Endometriosis has always been described as "one condition." New research says it may actually be four distinct diseases. A thread.

Women who also had adenomyosis showed significantly more severe disease. That overlap is now part of the subtype picture.

OB-GYN billing is changing for the first time since the 1990s. Starting in January, providers can bill for individual services instead of one lump-sum global fee. Here's what that means.

The concern: unbundling creates a mechanism to bill for every visit and scan that was once included. Whether that means more care or higher costs depends on how insurers and practices respond.

The largest study yet on acetaminophen in pregnancy found no neurodevelopmental link. Here's what that means and what the research actually shows: https://t.co/6UBNEHpwZs @ACOG @JAMAInternalMed

A sibling-matched analysis of more than 700,000 Hong Kong mother-child pairs found no association between acetaminophen use in pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.

This is also not an isolated result. It lines up with large datasets from Sweden and Japan. The scientific record, taken together, is fairly consistent.

The funding lapsed and the ban expired. Here is what that does and does not mean for access: https://t.co/hgNkhwZt20 @reproaction @NWLCAction

The one-year Planned Parenthood Medicaid ban lapsed July 4. The organization can once again bill Medicaid for contraception, STI testing, and cancer screenings.

Anti-abortion leaders have stated publicly they intend to include a permanent defunding provision in the next reconciliation package. July 4 restored the status quo. It did not close the political fight.
