5 Things You Should Never Lie To Your Doctor About

Lying to your doctor may save you a little embarrassment in the short-term, but it can potentially have serious consequences in the long-term. Here are 5 things you should always be honest with your doctor about: #1 Bathroom Activities Yes, this conversation may cause us to blush, but bathroom functions are a vital part of health. If your body is eliminating waste too often or not enough, this is an issue which needs to be addressed. #2 Smoking Smoking has gone from a more luxurious social norm to a more frowned upon habit in recent years. Smoking can be the puzzle piece your doctor is missing when diagnosing symptoms, so open up and confess. #3 Vitamins and Supplements Sometimes supplements and vitamins can interfere with prescription medications to a point of danger. So make sure you list everything you take daily. #4 Pain Don't brush off a sore spot or aching back as nothing. Fill your doc in on all the aches and pains you experience and to what degree they hurt you. #5 Sex Stuff Another embarrassing topic, but an essential one. Your doctor wants to help and will not judge you on your sexual partner count, your sexual activities or even if you have contracted an STI. You could be putting yourself at serious risk by shying away from the sex talks. What are you embarrassed about when it comes to doctors visits? How did you get over your fears?
