Confronting the doctor inadvertently can arouse fear. It is not a uniform issue, but with the prospect of having an illness or a health problem. This fear, then, drives man to lie almost innocently about the symptoms of the problem he has.
The doctor usually asks simple questions about lifestyle. He may ask about the use of carbonated liquids, alcohol or even tobacco. When it comes to the latter, people tend to lie by admitting to the doctor a lower number of cigarettes than the truth.
Below you will find the list of lies you should never tell your doctor for the sake of your health.
Do not lie about the history of surgical interventions
If you have had any minor surgery in the past, you should see your doctor.
The reason is simple.
If you have stomach problems, but in the past you have removed appendicitis, then you are automatically more at risk. A history of interventions can highlight complications that may threaten you such as anesthesia.
On the other hand, you should not lie about your age and family history either. They are important factors in determining the need for a colonoscopy, flu vaccine and others.
Do not lie about sex life
The idea of â??â??talking to your doctor about sex life sounds scary, however it is absolutely necessary. Lifestyle can increase the risk of many diseases, not only those that are sexually transmitted, but also dangerous ones such as cancer.
Do not lie about medication
You should tell your doctor the truth about any medications, antibiotics, vitamins and supplements you have taken, including dosages. The truth in this case can avoid unnecessary complications and save your life.
Do not lie about physical activity
One of the questions doctors ask is about physical activity. There are people who naturally lie to the doctor and themselves when they claim to perform physical activity when they are actually lying down most of the time. People who do not engage in physical activity are at greater risk for heart disease.
Do not be afraid, the doctor will not prejudice you.
Do not lie about the symptoms
If you often suffer from stomach aches or headaches, you should tell your doctor. Such information will help him make a better diagnosis of the problem you may have.
Do not lie about oral hygiene
In the case of the dentist, the liar has very short legs, or unwashed teeth. You do not need to lie to the dentist about brushing your teeth. He will spot it right away. Keep in mind that oral health has a strong impact on many aspects of the body's health.
If you do not understand the doctor, tell me!
It is true that doctors often speak in incomprehensible scientific terms to the general population. If you do not understand his language during the diagnosis, do not shake your head in vain but tell the eye doctor that you do not understand.
Remember, the truth is healthy and vital./AW/
