Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. John Lipman

Sourced directly from Dr. John Lipman's social posts and replies.

What is the likelihood of fibroid recurrence after UFE?
The chance of fibroid recurrence after a UFE procedure is very unlikely, much less likely than after a myomectomy.
Source →
Is UFE an outpatient procedure?
Yes, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is performed as an outpatient procedure.
Source →
Does Dr. Lipman have specific recommendations for fibroid screening?
Dr. Lipman recommends that every Black woman get checked for fibroids, as fibroid tumors run stronger genetically in African-American families.
Source →
What is the immediate outcome after a UFE procedure?
Within 24 hours after the UFE procedure, all fibroids should be dead as their blood supply has been cut off.
Source →
What are fibroids?
Fibroids are the most common pelvic tumors found in women. Fortunately, they are benign and do not turn into cancer, though they can cause significant misery for many patients.
Source →
Do all women with fibroids experience symptoms?
No, some women have fibroids but do not experience any symptoms. These are referred to as 'passenger fibroids' and typically do not require treatment, as not treating them is the least invasive approach.
Source →
What are the most common symptoms of fibroids?
Fibroids can cause multiple symptoms, with three being most prominent: heavy menstrual bleeding (the number one reason why women have abnormally heavy periods), pelvic pain, and urinary frequency.
Source →
How can I tell if my menstrual bleeding is abnormal due to fibroids?
Many women with fibroids may not recognize their heavy menstrual bleeding as abnormal because they have experienced it for an extended period. Indicators of abnormal bleeding include changing a pad more frequently than every three or four hours, needing two pads at a time, being unable to sleep on good linens at night, having to double up on pads, experiencing episodes of gushing blood or flooding, or passing clots that are quarter-size or bigger, or having blood suddenly come out in large amounts. These are abnormal regardless of how long they've been present, and the absence of a low hemoglobin or hematocrit rate does not negate their significance.
Source →
What can I expect during a consultation with Dr. Lipman?
Dr. Lipman typically begins by asking patients 'what brings you here today?' to understand their symptoms and concerns.
Source →
What causes fibroids?
The exact origin of fibroids is unknown, but once they develop, their growth is fueled by estrogen and progesterone hormones.
Source →
How do fibroids behave during pregnancy and menopause?
Fibroids can grow very rapidly during pregnancy. Conversely, they tend not to be an issue for women once they are in menopause.
Source →
Can lifestyle changes help with fibroid symptoms?
Yes, since estrogen is stored in fat and fibroids grow with estrogen, losing any excess body fat can help improve fibroid symptoms.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$421

Payments

8

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. John Lipman received $421 across 8 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Boston Scientific Corporation.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
