Can you avoid physical medical exams?

March 5, 2025 mygyno
In my time as a clinician, I have had to answer several questions and dispel umpteen anxieties from patients. Most anxieties are genuine, and so are the myriad of unending questions. But every now and again, something comes up that has no straight answers.Recently a young couple asked me why doctors are fond of physically examining patients, seemingly touching and prodding all conceivable places in attempts to make a diagnosis.Is there no viable alternative? And can patients chose not to be physically touched by doctors? The answer is somewhere in between, a plain yes and no.

Be more proactive in your own healthcare

March 3, 2025 mygyno
It is common place for patients to walk into a doctor’s office, give their story, get evaluated and then simply walk out with a prescription and a return appointment. No questions asked, after all the doctor knows what’s best for patients. Is that so? Think again.Whenever you seek healthcare, you should always have your own perspectives about what you want. Disease states can have very diverse outcomes, depending on how you look at it. There are universally desired outcomes, more desirable for looking at populations. And then, there are individually desired outcomes, better termed as patient-centred outcomes.

And the majority of these men, 90% in demographic estimates, are literate. To a lay person, this means well-informed and able to make reasoned and healthy judgements.
