In a recent episode of the MedCity News FemFwd podcast, Barbara Levy, MD, FACOG, FACS speaks with Marissa Plescia about the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)’s updated clinical guidelines for diagnosing endometriosis and what these changes signal about the direction of modern medicine.
A key takeaway from the conversation is the growing shift toward earlier, symptom-based diagnosis. This approach can help reduce the years-long delays many women experience before receiving answers and appropriate care.
Dr. Levy also underscores an essential principle that is too often overlooked: women understand their bodies deeply. Listening to women is fundamental to the practice of medicine and critical to improving outcomes in women’s health.
We appreciate the MedCity News team for the thoughtful discussion and for highlighting this important update in clinical care.
