We should find out, do they have pleasure in certain areas?

We should be asking patients about sexual health when it comes to their birth control choices.

Because

informed consent and shared decision making is the right way to do things, right?

And so what I find patients get most upset about is, well, no one told me that was gonna happen to me.

I didn't know what to expect.

This could be a possibility.

I didn't even know that my birth control was the reason why I had pain with sex.

And when you give them that information, some of them stay on birth control.

Some of them switch to an IUD.

Some of them have like they have options, but they feel in control of those options.

And again, that is medicine.

When a patient knows what's going to happen and they can say, you know what, I heard all the options.

I've weighed my pros and cons.

This is what I would like to do.

Right.

And again, if you're thinking medical legally, like I think those patients sue less because they feel like they were informed and a part of the decision making process.

Right.

Oh, spironolactone.

Let's go back for a second.
