4 Things to Know Before an Online Gyne Appointment

Doctors suggest that you should visit your gynecologist once a year and make other visits if you feel you need to get something checked. This doesn’t usually happen and women are seen to neglect their health.
Ever since COVID hit, we all switched to this new normal of doing everything from home. In these circumstances, you may be planning on canceling your gynecologist’s appointment or thinking of using home remedies for any health problems you’re facing. But, you’re advised to get an online gynecologist consultation while sitting at home.
Going online for the first time, your head must be filled with questions about privacy as well as logistics. We’re here to answer some of those most common questions every woman must be thinking.

Privacy

“Is an online session secure?” Yes, it is! Whatever information you give during an online doctor’s consultation remains completely confidential. Only your doctor has access to it and they too only require the information for your treatment. Also, when the session is taking place, no third party is allowed to enter the call to ensure full secrecy.

Video or Voice Call?

“Camera on or off, which works?” Well, whichever you’re comfortable with. Usually, your healthcare provider leaves this decision to you. If you’re not comfortable with switching on your camera, you could opt for a voice call.

What Conditions can be Treated Online

A variety of reproductive health issues can be dealt with virtually. From birth control to STDs, all of them can be very easily treated overcall. Your gynecologist would inquire about your symptoms and medical history, they may even ask you to get some tests done and then will prescribe you the relevant medicine. You don’t need to have a physical examination for them.
Most women visit a gynecologist to seek treatment for menstruation issues, birth control, UTIs, and some other infection in the vaginal area. All of them are safe to be treated without any physical checkup.

Do At-Home Remedies Do the Job?

At-home remedies usually are carried down from our grandmothers and they learned them from their mothers. These do hold cultural credibility but not all such remedies work. Some may even cause more damage than good.
Even though reproduction-related health problems aren’t harmful, in some cases they may become life-taking or may result in infertility. Therefore, it is always better to get a professional opinion.
