A member asked:

I have doc's appt soon. if i say i have bloody discharge for a week, do i have to take pelvic exam? i don't want to. i'm on birth control pill.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why: If you have bloody discharge, it may be from a disturbance of the internal female anatomy like uterine cancer. If you hide the truth from your doc, the potential outcome can be fatal.If you exclude the proper exams from the evaluation process, you do the same thing. If you want the best care possible, tell the truth and discuss the process of evaluation with your doc.He/she may not need to.
