Episode 11.10 New Guidelines For Cervical Cancer Screening and More!

Show: Thinking About Ob/Gyn

We bring back the biggest takeaways from the ACOG ACSM, then move fast through the newest guidance and the newest hype shaping real OBGYN care. We focus on what the evidence actually supports, where practice still lags behind, and how “labels” can quietly push patients toward harm.

• conference highlights including rural OBGYN access and what gets attention on the exhibit floor
• vitamin K shot refusal trends and why late bleeding still matters weeks after birth
• 2026 ACOG cervical cancer screening changes with primary HPV testing preferred for ages 30 to 65
• self-collected HPV screening and the systems needed to keep follow-up safe
• why annual Pap testing and cytology-only strategies increase overdiagnosis and can miss HPV risk
• postmenopausal bleeding workup shifting toward ultrasound plus endometrial biopsy up front
• large baby induction data and why outcomes can worsen without neonatal benefit
• third-trimester ultrasound screening performance and the real-world labeling effect
• early proof-of-concept therapy for preeclampsia targeting sFlt1 removal to prolong pregnancy
• hysterectomy duration and route as drivers of venous thromboembolism risk
• laboring down claims from retrospective reports versus randomized trial findings
• debunking physiologic third stage claims and reaffirming active management to prevent hemorrhage
