Several exciting shifts. Precision women's health tailors prevention and treatment to genetics and hormones. Digital tools (apps for menstrual health, menopause, fertility) are giving women data and agency. There's new focus on women's heart health (heart disease presents differently) and mental health (postpartum, perimenopause). And policy changes are expanding access to reproductive care. The field is moving from "bikini medicine" (breasts and repro only) to whole-person, life-stage-specific care. About time.
