Questions for care
Pick what fits.
Which symptoms should I mention first? Which symptoms should make me call sooner? Does my bleeding pattern need follow up? Does my period timing need follow up? Should a pregnancy test be part of this question? Could another medicine or supplement matter? Should a pharmacist review my full medicine list? What should I keep tracking? What can I leave out of an app export?
MedlinePlus says it can help to write down questions before a visit.
For visit prep, read Floriva for gynecologist prep.

Keep only what helps you ask for care.
