Expressing Needs: Clearly communicate your comfort levels and preferences with your gynecologist. Asking Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification on any medical terms, procedures, or advice that you find confusing or distressing. Being Honest: Share relevant medical history and symptoms openly, but don’t feel pressured to divulge personal information that you’re uncomfortable sharing. Seeking Support: Bring a trusted friend or family member to appointments if you need emotional support. Self-Advocacy: If you feel your boundaries are being crossed, speak up. It’s important to feel safe and respected in your healthcare environment.
