Women's Health Care Committee, Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology: Annual Report 2026.

The Women's Health Care Committee was established in 2010 to promote women's health. In the fiscal year 2025, the committee advanced research and initiatives with a view toward social implementation, focusing on advancing understanding of disease etiology and improving quality of life (QOL) across the entire female life course, from adolescence to reproductive years, menopause, and older age. This year, nine subcommittees were established, which addressed a broad spectrum of topics, including menopausal disorders and occupational issues, pelvic floor dysfunction during the perinatal period, cancer and sexual education in adolescence, long-term management of Turner syndrome, menstrual disorders, and awareness of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). In addition, emerging areas such as trace elements and supplements, telemedicine, and nutritional assessments have also been explored. Furthermore, cross-cutting discussions were conducted beyond individual diseases and clinical domains, encompassing challenges in healthcare delivery systems, educational frameworks, and the broader social context of women's healthcare. This report is based on the Japanese version of the annual report (Acta Obstetrica et Gynaecologica Japonica 2026; 78(6): 925-930).
