Drs. Xun Lian, Sara Kim and Caitlin Waters, minimally invasive and robotic gynecologic surgery at Stony Brook Medicine, break down what’s normal — and not — when it comes to menstrual cycles, heavy bleeding, and pelvic pain.

Then, Drs. James Barsi, clinical associate professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stony Brook University, and Brian Lynch, a board certified pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at Stony Brook Medicine, discuss misconceptions about the curvature of the spine, known as scoliosis. This conversation is from September 2025.
