I went in to the doctor to have a general physical, and in an off way, to have him look into my little gyno problem.
Conclusion: "Why, yes, I do feel the lumps you were speaking of"
Me: "what do you think it could be?"
Dr.: "Breast cancer is quite rere in males, though it does appear from time to time, though rarely bi-laterally"
Me: "meaning..."
Dr.: "well, you have lumps of almost equal size in each breast, so that woud suggest to me that it is not cancer"
Me: "right, then what"
Dr.: "ahve you had similar symptoms in the past?"
Me: "no"
***fast forward to conversation a few days later***
Dr.: "Have you ever used steroids?"
Me: "er, um, no???"
Dr.: "sre you sure...I mean, is it possile that you took something you were unsure of, or are you taking in any kind of over-the-counter supplements, because alot of them have steroids in them"
--------------
based on that statement alone, perhaps I should go and find myself a new doc.
however, I insisted that I had done nothing that would have brought about said symptoms [patently untrue].
I later called him back and left him a message to the effect of my having not been completely up front with him with regard to my "medical" history, as I was not in a position to act in full disclosure when we spoke over the phone.
I have yet to speak with him again, but when I do, how do I best breach the AS thing while keeping in mind that the hospital is directly affiliated with my place of work.
In general, how does one bring up the subject of AS with a medical professional?
please inform as I will be going in on Saturday morning.
