#39: Approaching Adenomyosis with Dr. Ja Hyun Shin

Hello Uterus

2023 is the year we end endocrine-disrupting chemicals. We are OVER it! As consumers, we can try our hardest to steer clear of these awful chemicals in our lives, but when corporations start lying on the labels, how do we stay in check of our health? Coca-Cola has some explaining to do. Be on the lookout because their orange juice is NOT what it seems. Maybe it’s not a coincidence that chronic conditions are on the rise!

With more and more unregulated products and a lack of research on the market, it doesn’t seem like a surprise that a majority of those with a uterus is likely to develop painful uterine conditions. Problematic uterine conditions are so common these days, so why do they go undiagnosed and unheard of for so long? If you’re not sure what is causing your pain, our incredible guest today will make sure you leave this episode as if it was a mini-consultation for this tricky condition! Dr. Ja Hyun Shin, a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, joins us to talk about our main subject adenomyosis, a common under-diagnosed, and under-researched painful condition with limited treatment options. We cover what adenomyosis can look like, what treatment options are available, and how you can get on the right track to a possible diagnosis.

Lastly, we end on an eye-catching high note. Art is doing so much good in this world.

Thanks for listening, learning, and being you. And join us back here every Tuesday for all things uterus, in service to you, uterinekind.
