À propos de cet audio
Microplastics and their synthetic byproducts pose a majorrisk to humans through inhalation and ingestion. Could these microscopic pollutants play a role in infertility or cancer? Dr. Raveen Syan and her team are determined to find out.
Dr. Raveen Syan, assistant professor of clinical urology at the Desai Sethi Urology Institute, and Christina Yarborough, a medical student, joined the podcast to discuss a groundbreaking study that will examine how microplastics accumulate in female reproductive tissue and the potential health effects of these toxins.
In addition to the microplastics study, she shares insights from her research on Pelvic Floor Disorders (PFD), which impact nearly 1 in 4 women in the U.S., significantly affecting their quality of life.
Despite this prevalence, few studies have investigated the symptom burden among varying demographics and their perspectives on treatment options.
