Over the course of a woman’s lifetime, some topics might feel too embarrassing or taboo to bring up with a doctor. However, a good OB/GYN will assure you that these questions are completely appropriate and important for your health. No need to be shy! But here are some common topics that women often hesitate to ask about but should feel empowered to discuss with their healthcare providers.
In any case, if you are interested in finding out more about your health without speaking to a doctor yet, try the Hati Chatbot, and get more answers to your questions about your health, tips and wellness tips and get instant advice.
1. Why is there a ‘funny’ smell down there?
A foul-smelling discharge can be a sign of a vaginal infection. These infections can be caused by something as simple as a change in pH or something more serious, such as a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It's essential to talk to your physician right away about any abnormal smells.
2. Is vaginal itching normal?
Vaginal itching is not normal and can be a sign of a yeast infection. Typically, the signs of a yeast infection include itching, thick white discharge, or redness.
3. How much discharge is normal?
The quantity, color, and consistency of discharge varies widely from person to person. You should see your gynecologist if the discharge has a foul odor or if a rash, vulvar itching, or discomfort accompanies it. If your discharge is green and frothy, this can be a sign of a vaginal infection or a sexually transmitted disease, and a woman should see their doctor immediately.
If you are not ready to speak to a doctor directly, consider using medical chatbots like Hati Bot, and get timely patient access to health information.
Many conditions go underdiagnosed and untreated due to individuals feeling stigmatized and/or embarrassed. It can be difficult for individuals to share information and openly discuss their health with medical professionals when they anticipate stigma or embarrassment. Many people may miss the opportunity for early treatment, leading to significant decreases in health and wellbeing.
Hati Chatbot is a positive “first step” to help individuals on their health journey. Conducting some of the initial awkward discussions about embarrassing and/or stigmatizing symptoms through our friendly chatbot could make the difference between someone seeking medical advice or choosing to ignore the issue.
