- ‘Presently, naturality is the key trend: I mean natural childbirth and the absence of firm standards. Instead of this we use the experience of evidence-based medicine: if you prove that something is helpful, then we use it in own practice. For example, uselessness of multivitamins for pregnant women has been finally proved. However, both advertising and a huge selection of medicines in drugstores make many women consider them a cure-all. Evidence-based medicine is much more advantageous compared to the prior standards.’
- ‘Mutual understanding is the most important thing. It is necessary to make a woman trust you, and convince her that she is not left alone with her illness. It is vital to explain a patient that her problem is important, and everything can be solved.’
- ‘The considerable part of female diseases, I have already faced during my practice, appear from ignorance of the fundamental contraception aspects, protection methods against STIs. Regrettably, children are not taught it in schools. We need more lectures and publications in mass-media in these issues. Despite the fact that all the necessary information can be easily found on the Internet, people still have no basic knowledge on this subject. Women do not even often know that it is necessary to have a menstrual calendar. They come with the menstrual cycle disorder and do not know that they need to show the doctor a calendar to determine disorders. Many people mistakenly believe that a rejected sexual intercourse is an absolute protection against unwanted pregnancy. This is entirely not true. Many patients desire to self-medicate, prescribing antibiotics to themselves and then suffer from it. Owing to the ignorance of these essential things, there will be many problems in future.’
Hobbies, favorite movies, books:
- ‘I like to spend all my free time with my child.’
Doctor's advice:
- ‘You should always visit your gynecologist on time: it is necessary to make annually checkups to examine the mammary glands, cervix and pelvic organs.’
- ‘If a healthy woman undergoes a scheduled examination, then it will be easy to control her condition. If a patient has a health problem, she must visit her doctor oftener and know when she should have the next examination. Moreover, there is a group of dangerous symptoms, when you need to visit your gynecologist immediately – various pains and discomfort. It is always better to prevent disease than to treat it!’
Advantages of MM 'Dobrobut':
- ‘In a private clinic a doctor must persistently grow professionally, because the rivalry here is on the highest level. This is a kind of drive for further development. You start to get more interested in specialized and related branches of medicine, communicate a lot with colleagues of different specialties, who are developing professionally as well. All medical workers know that if they ignore all the modern trends in their specialty, the patient will surely go to another doctor.’
