This editorial highlights the critical need to expand sexual and reproductive health research beyond traditional contraception to address the broader needs of women in low- and middle-income countries. The authors argue for advancing innovations that improve overall reproductive well-being and healthcare access for these populations. They emphasize that current frameworks are insufficient and call for a more holistic approach to women's health initiatives. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
