Despite his reputation for precision and excellent outcomes, surgery is rarely Dr Alex’s first option when it comes to gynaecological concerns. But in some cases, surgery is required to remove physical barriers to fertility. In this episode, we talk about the common gynaecological conditions, when to consider surgery over other treatments, and why it is so important that women see a gynaecologist who is also trained in fertility medicine — even if they are not ready to start a family right now.
