ACOG reiterates its 2010 recommendations for annual breast, abdominal, and pelvic exams in the guideline and updates the schedule regarding which vaccinations are recommended, by age and risk group. Lawrence, III, MD, vice-president for Practice Activities at ACOG. “The College urges the U.S.ĭepartment of Health and Human Services to include these screenings, tests, and immunizations included in our well-woman exam recommendations under the preventive services that it is considering for inclusion under the new health care law,” said Hal C. The revised schedule covers the basic components of the annual ob/gyn exam, including assessing current health status, nutrition, physical activity, sexual practices, and tobacco, alcohol, and drug use. Routine Screenings ACOG also announced, March 21, that it has updated the schedule for recommended routine screening, lab tests, and immunizations for non-pregnant teens and women. “Update on Carrier Screening for Cystic Fibrosis” is published in the April 2011 issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Women who are CF carriers and their reproductive partners may need additional screening tests and referrals for genetic and reproductive counseling, ACOG advises. Cystic Fibrosis Screening ACOG recommends preconception and prenatal cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier screening as a routine part of obstetric care. “Because CF is caused by an inherited genetic mutation, carrier screening is recommended to identify couples at risk for having a child with the disease,” ACOG says in a March 21 press release. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has updated its guidelines for various female screenings and is asking the federal government to back them up.
