How to talk to your doc about sex & meds
Quote from Lucy on October 27, 2025, 10:54 amHey there! It’s totally normal to feel awkward talking about this, but your doctor is there to help-trust me, they’ve heard it all before. I once had to bring up a similar issue, and I started by saying, 'I’ve noticed some changes since starting my meds, and I wanted to check if that’s common or if there are alternatives.' Writing down your concerns beforehand is a great idea-it helps keep things clear and focused. You could also say, 'I’ve been feeling a bit self-conscious about this, but I wanted to be honest so we can figure it out together.' Small steps like that make a big difference. You’ve got this!
