Here are the trends we spotted this week in women’s health, and as always, scroll for the top clicked stories.

  • 💉 Women lose more weight on GLP-1s than men. It’s probably biology. A review of nearly 20,000 people found women on GLP-1 drugs lost more weight than men, and sex appeared to be the most meaningful differentiator. Age and race didn’t explain the gap.

  • 🔬 ACOG told doctors to stop waiting for surgery to diagnose endometriosis. The nation’s largest OBGYN group updated its guidance, saying symptoms and imaging are enough and a diagnosis doesn’t require surgery. For patients who’ve spent years being dismissed, this is a big deal.

  • 🏥 The body that decides which preventive screenings your insurance will cover hasn’t met in a year. The USPSTF has now missed three consecutive meetings, and five members had terms that expired in January, with no replacements. On hold: finalized guidance on self-collected HPV testing, mammogram updates, and colorectal screening guidelines.
