I value transparency in the doctor-patient relationship. I can't be comfortable being told "just because" or "just do this, don't worry about why", it's my body, I need to know what's happening.

It was uncomfortable and i had to remain celibate while using it (boo!). The reason I share this story is that until 30 seconds ago I had no idea that had anything to do with yeast infections. This was back when I was seeing the *awesome* OBGYN who waited 3 months to let me know my pap smear had been abnormal, and even then, he didn't give me any information about HPV, etc., just told me to come in for a colposcopy (didn't tell me what that was for, either). <br /><br />So anyway, it is not just the corporations and whatnot who think that women should have no information about or agency w/r/t their bodies, it is also on the individual level of incompetent and arrogant doctors.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320317466209900275noreply@blogger.com
