What to disclose to your doctor

You will well be aware of what transpires between you and your gynaecologist during consultative encounters. It all starts with you making an appointment for whatever reason. The consultation process often begins with some trivial niceties, the rest following from there.

The main thing that guides what your gynaecologist does next is what is commonly referred to as medical history. This simply means that you open up and give relevant details related to your ailments. Sufficient detail must be forthcoming to enable your gynaecologist to piece everything together and come up with some recommendations. But all too often, you may feel compelled to withhold some information.
