Did you know that blocked fallopian tubes can be UNBLOCKED? Very often, women who discover blocked fallopian tubes during an HSG hear that their only option is to go on to IVF, but that's not the only path forward. There are actually ways to restore the healthy function of blocked tubes through a very simple procedure. Dr. Naomi Whittaker joins us today to talk about this easy approach and give you helpful information as you advocate for your own care! In this episode, she discusses:· The limited amount of information available as to why tubes get blocked and how prevalent the problem is· pain prevention and management for HSG· the procedure that is MORE helpful than a standard HSG· why this procedure is so effective· how you can talk with your doctor about it and who is trained in this procedureNOTE: This episode does discuss briefly trauma of medical procedures, but should be appropriate for most audiences.GUEST BIO: Dr. Whittaker is a Pennsylvania-based board certified OBGYN and fellowship-trained surgeon who specializes in the Creighton model system and NaPro technology, which works cooperatively with a woman's body to treat the underlying cause of gynecologic issues and infertility, such as endometriosis and PCOS.
