Education and empathy: the key to women's health - interview with Dr Kamil Cichy

During the interview, Dr Cichy points out the shortcomings of medical education in communicating with patients. Doctors are often not adequately prepared to discuss difficult topics, which can lead to misunderstandings, fear and reluctance on the part of patients for subsequent visits.

We also address the topic of many women's lack of basic knowledge about their own bodies. Dr Cichy notes that older women in particular often lack health awareness and basic knowledge about the menstrual cycle or other issues related to their health.

We also touch on the topic of the first visit to the gynaecologist, which often influences the patient's attitude towards further medical care. We discuss how important it is for doctors to be adequately prepared for this encounter to ensure that the patient feels safe and comfortable.

We talk about the importance of prevention, health education and the right approach to patients, especially young girls. Dr Cichy stresses the importance of health education starting at an early age. We also touch on HPV vaccination and the method of contraception for girls who are starting sexual intercourse.

Undoubtedly an interesting point of conversation is the topic of educating boys about women's health. We agree that this is essential for building healthy relationships and for a better understanding of women's health needs.

This episode is a true compendium of gynaecology, prevention and health education. Dr. Cichy shares his insights and advice that are sure to help many women better understand their bodies and health needs. We invite you to listen in on Wednesday 7 June.
