Thinking About Ob/Gyn

We revisit standout ABOG reading-list studies and use them to stress-test common clinical theories against real-world evidence. Along the way, we unpack a major hyperemesis gravidarum finding that could reshape how we counsel patients and how future treatments get built. Featuring Jamie Perry, MD. • how Bulkamid urethral bulking stacks up against TVT sling surgery at five years for stress urinary incontinence • why crossover and intent-to-treat analysis change how you interpret “cure” ...

We explain why the treatment is often simpler than social media claims, and how to spot hormone grift without dismissing real symptoms. • menopause hype and the rise of cash-pay menopause clinics • the medical hype cycle and how WHI shaped fear and overcorrection • ACP guideline: estrogen with progestogen first line for vasomotor symptoms when a uterus is...

We focus on practical clinical signals, especially sleep disruption, and what real safety planning and system reform should look like for postpartum families. • why we avoid diagnosing a public case and instead look for system lessons • how legal...
