I visited an OB/GYN because I was constantly worried about my genetic history. Because there's a family history of ovarian cancer, I received a consultation about hereditary ovarian cancer testing. From the beginning, the therapist was very empathetic to my anxiety, making me feel comfortable throughout the consultation. She didn't just recommend the test; she also illustrated the specific genetic test and how the results would affect my follow-up care. She didn't just intimidate me, but also provided realistic guidance, giving me the confidence to prepare.
After the consultation, I had a blood test for the BRCA gene, along with a vaginal ultrasound and a basic women's checkup. The testing process was simpler than I expected, and the blood draw was quick and stress-free. After the test, I was given guidance on how to manage my lifestyle while waiting for the results, including the frequency of regular checkups, which put my mind at ease.
What made this hospital stand out from others was its explanations and systematic management system, which reduced patient anxiety. I was satisfied with the feeling that they didn't just provide testing, but also took responsibility for follow-up care. I'd recommend this hospital to anyone concerned about a hereditary condition.
