Why is Patient Communication Important in Gynecology?
Effective patient communication is vital because:
- Building Trust: Helps in establishing a trusting relationship between the gynecologist and the patient. - Informed Decision-Making: Ensures that patients understand their options and can make informed decisions about their care. - Managing Expectations: Clearly communicating potential outcomes and risks associated with treatments and procedures. - Emotional Support: Providing emotional support and education on sensitive issues like fertility, sexual health, and cancer diagnosis.
