How can healthcare providers support the mental health of gynecological patients?
Healthcare providers play a critical role in supporting the mental health of gynecological patients. They should provide compassionate care, actively listen to patients' concerns, and offer appropriate referrals to mental health professionals when needed. Integrating mental health screening into routine gynecological care can help identify issues early and ensure timely intervention. Additionally, educating patients about the potential psychological impacts of gynecological conditions and normalizing the discussion of mental health can reduce stigma and encourage patients to seek help.
