Practice GuidelineCommittee Opinion No. 547: Health care for women in the military and women veterans.
Military service is associated with unique risks to women's reproductive health. As increasing numbers of women are serving in the military, and a greater proportion of United States Veterans are women, it is essential that obstetrician-gynecologists are aware of and well prepared to address the unique health care needs of this demographic group. ⋯ Additional research examining the effect of military and Veteran status on reproductive health is needed to guide the care for this population.
