Episode notes
Infertility As A Symptom
- Dr. Gavin Puthoff reframes infertility as a symptom of underlying disease rather than a standalone illness.
- Restorative reproductive medicine (NaPro) seeks root-cause diagnosis and treatment instead of bypassing with IVF.
Ask To Test And Reopen Tubes
- If told both tubes are blocked, ask for selective salpingography that tests and can reopen each tube independently.
- Consider office-based tubal recanalization before accepting IVF as your only option.
Hidden C-Section Scar Defects
- C-section scar defects (niche/ pouch) can trap blood and cause inflammation, infertility, miscarriage, and even scar rupture risks.
- Two-thirds of women with defects are asymptomatic so the condition is commonly missed.
