Re: Should all patients be asked about their sexual orientation?
Dear Colleagues,
In my practice, I see a lot of girls and young women.
Provided that I acquire consent for elaborate medical history investigation of previous vaginal infections, mood swings, OC use, alcohol intake, drug use, smoking, sleeping, biochemical tests, which additional useful clinical information shall I obtain by asking if they are lesbians or not?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
