Ignorance harms infertile couples !

A patient I saw today was crying bitterly because a doctor had told her she was suffering from "secondary " infertility.She thought that secondary meant it was a more advanced and complicated form of infertility, which meant that her chances of getting pregnant would be very low.I had to explain to her that secondary simply meant an infertile patient who had been pregnant in the past, and did not refer to the "stage" of the disease !Doctors need to explain medical terms to patients - and patients need to do some research before jumping to the wrong conclusion !Need help in making sense of medical jargon ? Please send me your medical details by filling in the form atwww.drmalpani.com/free-second-opinion so that I can guide you !
