The merger of obstetrics and gynecology, while logical, has led to 'bikini medicine,' a narrow focus on reproductive health that overlooks women's overall health needs.
This approach short-changes vital health systems like the heart, brain, and gut, resulting in a healthcare model that inadequately addresses women's complex health throughout their lives.
A split between gynecology and obstetrics would allow for better specialization, innovation, and research, particularly in areas that have historically been underexplored in women's health.
The need for a more holistic approach to women's health has sparked a debate about the separation of gynecology from obstetrics, a move that could improve overall care.
