• Prepare Questions in Advance: Writing down questions before your appointment can help you stay focused.
• Be Honest About Your Symptoms: Even if it feels uncomfortable, sharing all your symptoms is important for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
• Take Notes: During the appointment, note your doctor’s recommendations so you can review them later.
• Ask for Clarification: If something doesn’t make sense, don’t hesitate to ask for a clearer explanation.
