How to describe vaginal numbness to doctor?
Describe your symptoms clearly, including when the numbness started, how it feels, what makes it better or worse, and any other changes you’ve noticed.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Tell your doctor where you notice numbness, if it’s constant or comes and goes, and if it affects sex, daily life, or bladder/bowel function. Mention related symptoms such as pain, tingling, or weakness. Honest, specific details help your doctor choose the right tests and treatment. NHS: Vaginal dryness.
Clinical Context
Writing down your symptoms before the appointment can help. Bring a list of medicines, past surgeries, and questions for your doctor.
Evidence-Based Approaches
NHS and NICE recommend open, honest communication for accurate diagnosis (NICE CKS).
