In this episode, we take a deep dive into back pain and modern spine care—why people need spine surgery, how conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis are diagnosed, and when surgery makes sense. We break down common procedures, explore how minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques are transforming outcomes, and discuss what recovery really looks like. We’ll also tackle common myths, highlight red flags that shouldn’t be ignored, and look ahead at the future of spine surgery.  Learn more about Richard Hynes, MD [https://mychart.hf.org/MyChart/app/providers/DrRichardHynesMD/WP-24nXw3uwQ9AG0JoodqJwgHLg-3D-3D-24fHvQRJl3DqMGQUDyJjusdAbSijBKUNRi8BWR6bRiqmg-3D?ref=3640]

In this episode, we’ll talk with Gynecologic Oncology experts about what’s normal, what’s not, and when to seek care. Listeners will learn how these specialists work together to evaluate symptoms, provide answers, and guide women toward the right treatment—whether it’s reassurance, routine care, or life-saving intervention.  Learn more about Levent Mutlu, MD [https://mychart.hf.org/MyChart/app/providers/DrLeventMutluMD/WP-24chX4WOG8tG-2FqhlxHxsM7mw-3D-3D-242TiHA7mGmnnQQ1Sbx1kAcsCZKrM1WdULrMhnnGBnlH8-3D?ref=**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%3D%3D]   Learn more about Gulden Menderes, MD [https://mychart.hf.org/MyChart/app/providers/DrGuldenMenderesMD/WP-24TmlwZhzQjmSpPhT8Bf9E8w-3D-3D-24iiVo6BEAi51lh11xyKBphLRmJzlBiSSCB2hH1S-2BLh7M-3D?ref=**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%3D%3D]
