In a doctor’s office, there is no place for silence and omitting delicate or embarrassing issues if they are related to your health. – If you’re ashamed of something delicate, break the discomfort to tell the doctor what’s really going on. Doctors don’t read minds. During the visit, you have to share all the relevant information, which means being really open and honest – says the doctor and adds: – Believe me, doctors have already heard it all!

However, you need to remember to make the most of your visit to the doctor, says Dr Hascalovici. – If it helps, come with a list of questions or take notes. When you do not understand something, ask questions – the doctor advises. What if the doctor himself is impatient? – Calmly tell him that good communication is essential to solve your health problems and give you proper care.
