Why haven't I heard of RRM or NaProTechnology before?

RRM and NaProTechnology remain relatively unknown because they challenge conventional medical approaches that prioritize suppressive treatments over root cause diagnosis and restoration.

Several factors contribute to limited awareness of Restorative Reproductive Medicine. Medical education traditionally focuses on managing symptoms rather than identifying and treating underlying reproductive disorders. Most physicians receive minimal training in reproductive endocrinology beyond prescribing suppressive medications like birth control or referring directly to IVF.

The medical establishment often dismisses approaches that don't align with pharmaceutical-centered treatment models. RRM's emphasis on surgical correction, natural cycle cooperation, and couple-centered care doesn't generate the same revenue streams as repeat IVF cycles or long-term suppressive medications. In practice, we see patients who've been told their only options are birth control to "manage" symptoms or IVF for fertility. No one mentioned diagnosing and treating the actual underlying conditions.

Additionally, RRM requires specialized training in reproductive surgery, cycle analysis, and endocrine restoration that most physicians don't pursue. The field demands a different paradigm: viewing reproductive symptoms as signs of treatable conditions rather than inevitable problems to suppress. This represents a fundamental shift from conventional practice.

• Medical schools provide limited reproductive endocrinology training outside of contraception and assisted reproductive technology
• NaProTechnology was developed by Dr. Thomas Hilgers in the 1980s but remains outside mainstream medical curricula
• RRM practitioners require additional fellowship training beyond standard residency programs

RRM offers couples evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of reproductive disorders through precise surgical techniques, bioidentical hormone restoration, and natural cycle optimization. Rather than masking symptoms with suppressive medications, we identify root causes like endometriosis, PCOS, or hormonal imbalances and provide targeted treatments to restore normal reproductive function.

RRM remains relatively unknown because it requires specialized training and challenges the conventional model of suppressive symptom management in reproductive medicine.
