What happens if you don't tell the doctor all your symptoms?

Question

If you take a urine sample and they send it to a lab but you don't tell all the symptoms can they figure out what you have?

Answer 1

It's possible that he/she could tell you, but it would be a much more accurate diagnosis if you told him/her all your symptoms.  Don't hide anything from your doctor.  He/she is there to help you.  (Trust me, they have heard it all before.  There is nothing to be embarrassed about).

Answer 2

They can tell quite a lot with a urine specimen.

Doctor is one person you dont want to lie to, he's there and you pay him big money to help you out.  He's not shocked. He's seen it all. Studied it all.  

Answer 3

They'll be able to figure it out anyway if they take a urine sample

Answer 4

Symptoms help a lot. If they do figure out what you have they might figure it's wrong because you "don't have all the symptoms" even though you do.

Answer 5

yes they can your best just to tell them your problems

Answer 6

no...bc a person can have little or no symthoms at all.  

Answer 7

Don't hide symptoms from your doctor . They can't make an accurate diagnosis without the truth.

Answer 8

If you don't give all the symptoms, it is likely that you could get a wrong diagnosis. They may be testing for the wrong thing.

Answer 9

I dont think they can find out everything from a urine sample, but you should always tell your doctor all the symptoms you have as he/she could make a wrong diagnosis and give you the wrong type of drugs/medicine and that will probably make everything worse

Answer 10

what happens is he doesn't have all the information he needs to make a proper diagnosis and therefore treat you appropriately.  Not telling him everything is just shooting yourself in the foot, not too bright.

Answer 11

I think they can, if the follow other spoors that show something else.
