Episode 16: Tales from the OR — Reproductive Surgeries with Paul Lin


Listen Later

It's All Thing Uterus today! As Anne says, today we're going deep on "polyps and fibroids and adhesions, oh my!"

Guest Dr. Paul Lin may not have one of these organs, but he is an expert on this complex and important part of the human anatomy.

Because so many uterine issues may not present with symptoms — or the symptoms may disguise themselves as irregular periods or other variability — many people don't realize there's a problem until they have difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy.

What can go wrong? What symptoms might you be experiencing? How can problems be addressed? Anne, Ruby, and Dr. Lin tackle the big concerns that can make fertility a real challenge.

Paul Lin is a board certified OB-GYN and REI Specialist and one of the founding partners of SRM. He is the former president of the Society of Assisted Reproductive Technology, the organization that tracks outcomes in IVF centers across the country, among other things.

Dr. Lin has extensive experience in many reproductive surgical concerns including laparoscopic and hysteroscopic fibroid removal; surgical management of endometriosis; and surgical management of uterine issues such as endometrial polyps, intrauterine adhesions, and uterine septums. He is one of the few fertility specialists who also uses a robotic approach for complicated surgeries.
