Hernias & Female Pelvic Pain: Episode 47 with Dr Shirin Towfigh

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s episode where I had the pleasure of a most illuminating conversation with global leader in hernia care, Dr Shirin Towfigh

In this chat, we discussed:

👉 typical presentation and history of hernias as pain drivers in women (spoiler: women may present with pelvic pain but no bulge)

👉 why hernias in women can be potentially life threatening 

👉 how hernias are diagnosed and surgically managed

👉 what we need to know about the role of pelvic rehab in hernia care (spoiler alert: constipation!)

👉 and much more!

You can find Dr Towfigh clinically at Beverley Hills Hernia Center, where she also offers telehealth for international patients. She's on instagram as @herniadoc and has a fabulous podcast/YouTube channel called Hernia Talk Live, which I highly recommend
