Going to the hospital to see a doctor may improve the efficiency of the doctor and bring better service to the patient. Many patients lack effective communication with the doctor when seeing a doctor, resulting in leaving the consulting room, often regretting their clumsy words for not speaking clearly.
For some diseases such as male impotence, many male patients do not know how to speak up and are afraid to go to the hospital for treatment. Here are some tips for communicating with doctors.
How can EDpatients communicate smoothly with doctors when seeking medical treatment? " src="//img.jianke.com/article/201507/20150727150946953.jpg" />
1. Come prepared. Before going to the hospital, it is best to write down the points to be said on paper, so that you can explain the condition simply and clearly, to avoid confusion due to nervousness.
2. Open the topic. For some diseases such as erectile dysfunction, when you don't know how to mention them to a doctor, you can say something like, "Doctor, I suspect I may have ED?" Or, "Doctor, would you please give me an ED (IIEF-5) self test scale, and I want to know if I have ED?" Don't be afraid to ask sexual or personal questions. Doctors are professional experts who can help you deal with any sensitive issues.
3. Describe the symptoms in detail. Describe your symptoms in detail so that the doctor can make a more accurate diagnosis. For some male diseases such as ED, when you do not know how to accurately describe your symptoms, you can fill out the ED Self Test Scale and submit the completed scale to a doctor, who will make a preliminary diagnosis based on your scale.
4. Get a comprehensive understanding. You have the right to request a doctor to elaborate on your illness as necessary. Don't be scared.
