ARE YOU FACING SURGERY?
Deciding to undergo surgery can be tough, but once you know why you need it, it may certainly be helpful. Most operations are not emergencies and are considered elective surgery. Therefore, you have time to learn about your operation to be sure it is the best treatment option for you to address a medical issue. Knowing what to expect can help you get better faster.
The relationship with a doctor must be built on communication and trust. Honest & open dialogue with your surgeon about your symptoms, even if you feel embarrassed or shy, will help you both. Ask questions to make sure you understand your diagnosis, treatment, and recovery process.
