Your doctors need to know these details
We will always prioritize our privacy in many aspects of our lives, and that's only natural. However, the doctor responsible for your health needs to know in detail some factors of your routine and body functioning. This is because details that we consider even embarrassing can be fundamental to identify diseases and also treat them. So, remember to report any of the following changes in your body to your doctors:
Let me know when you start taking medication
We will all eventually need to take medication in our lives and a doctor will always need to know which medication we use. After all, a medication can change the results of our exams, in addition to bringing symptoms to our body, such as side effects. Therefore, it will be important to keep your doctor aware of your medications.
Let me know when your bathroom routine changes
Both urine and feces are important parts of the functioning of our body, so we must cherish our intestinal and urinary health. Although these details are more private in our lives, it will be essential to report any changes in the routine of going to the bathroom to the doctor, as some changes may indicate illness.
Notify in cases of changes in the genitals and reproductive organs
Another aspect of people's private lives is sex life, but we all know how important this area is for health. Therefore, avoid the emergence of diseases and problems that cause changes in sexual activity when reporting any changes in the genitals and reproductive organs.
Warn about changes in eating habits
Have you been feeling more hungry or lack of hunger? Then report this unusual behavior to your doctor. This is because the presence of excessive hunger or lack of hunger can be indicative of some diseases, such as diabetes. So be mindful of what you eat and also how often you feel hungry to guide your doctor.
