RESUMO
Two situations found in everyday gynecological practice demonstrate how a trustworthy doctor-patient relationship is built. This relationship helps to uncover what is concealed behind physical symptoms, which can perturb daily life (couple, social, family life) beyond a purely medical approach. To understand what is really happening rarely leads to a rapid solution. A stable chronicity that does not involve too many treatments, including surgical ones, can already be considered a success.
Deux situations rencontrées en pratique gynécologique courante montrent comment se construit une relation médecin-patient de confiance. Cette relation permet de découvrir ensemble ce qui se cache derrière des symptômes physiques perturbant la vie quotidienne (vies de couple, sociale, familiale) au-delà de la rationalité médicale. La compréhension des enjeux réels débouche rarement sur une solution immédiate. Une chronicité stable sans trop de traitements, y compris chirurgicaux, est déjà un succès.
