In this episode, Shirin Towfigh, a surgeon and hernia specialist, delves into the often-overlooked issue of hernias, particularly in women. The discussion highlights the challenges patients face when dealing with chronic pelvic pain and undiagnosed hernias. From gender disparities in diagnosis to the latest advancements in surgical treatment, this conversation emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis, patient advocacy, and raising awareness about hernia-related conditions.

Shirin Towfigh is a surgeon and hernia specialist.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “Ignored and misdiagnosed: the truth about hernias in women.”
