You aren't obligated to do anything you don't want to do, even if it's routine.
But why would you want to hide such details from your doctor?
These visits are made to make sure your body is working accordingly.
I'm sure they've seen worse cases than just a self-conscious patient.
You're only lying to yourself.

@FutureIdol I understand... I often thought about lying to my therapist. Because I felt too embarrassed to tell anyone my problems.
Keeping that information from my doctor would not have benefitted me.
Sometimes we have to open ourselves up to help.
