    She provides GPs with tips on recognising the telltale signs of endometriosis and emphasises why symptoms should never be dismissed as just a normal part of menstruation.

  • Uterine Fibroids & Polyps & How They Can Cause Infertility - Dr I-Ferne Tan
    Dec 18 2025

    Often as GPs, we are the first to hear about a patient’s concerns with heavy periods, pelvic pain and struggles to conceive, so understanding more about these conditions helps us to know when and how to investigate further and subsequently refer to a specialist.
    My guest today is Dr I-Ferne Tan, who is both a reproductive surgeon and fertility specialist, working at Royal North Shore and Mater hospitals, in Sydney.
    She is an expert in hysteroscopy and is one of the very few gynecologists in Australia able to perform an awake hysteroscopy to treat polyps, fibroids, scar tissue, trapped IUDs and miscarriages.
