SEATTLE — There are some health topics that are so taboo, so embarrassing, that women won’t even talk about them in the privacy of a doctor’s office. To address these concerns Swedish Medical Center is hosting a live, online chat during which women can ask health questions anonymously.
“There are a lot of young women who aren’t well informed about their bodies,” says Anita Tourigny, an advanced registered nurse practitioner and women’s health expert who will be answering questions during the online chat. “There’s a need for this kind of information to be made available.”
Tourigny says women are free to ask her anything, but she’s prepared a list of some of the more common concerns women hesitate to bring up:via www.komonews.com
If you feel that you cannot talk to your own doctor about sex, you can bring your partner with you; you can write the questions down and read them; or you can change doctors. A question for you: Can you talk to your therapist about sex?
