Discussing UC
No matter how long you’ve had UC, talking about it can feel awkward and embarrassing, even when the conversation is with your gastroenterologist (GI). Don’t hold back. Your GI is prepared for conversations like these. It’s important that you have an open and honest discussion about your UC symptoms. Every appointment is an opportunity to improve the dialogue with your GI and discuss how to manage your UC.
