Sick, calling out.. woman issues?!
Question: Sick, calling out!.!. woman issues!?
I have a yeast infection and plan to call out of work!. My problem is that my boss ALWAYS asks what happened the day I come back into work!. Is there a polite way I can tell him none of his business w/o letting one to woman problems!? I feel uncomfortable saying that it is related to my gender or saying it is a TMI issue!. I do not appear outwardly sick otherwise and he is suspicious, so I know he will ask!.
How should I tell him I wasn't feeling well w/o looking like a fibber (he is suspicious for no reason) and to get him off my back!?
I usually email that I will be out sick if it helps!. thanks in advance!. I will pick best answerer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've been through a situation like that!. If my cramps for my period are excrutiating (happens about every 3 months) I call out of work, and that's the only time I ever call!.
The very first time, I just said that I was having some personal problems that needed to be taken care of!. Then, I just smiled!.
He understood and he's never asked me!. He wasn't offended, but he respects me and your boss should too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell him you had food poisoning!. I had a really bad UTI once and couldnt make it to work, that's all I had to say, and they left me alone!. It's perfect because then they cant bug you if you have to make frequent trips to the ladies room!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Tell him its personal!. Its really none of his business what sickness you had!. But really, why do you need to call in sick for a yeast infection!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Go to your doctor and get a doctors certificate backing up that you had a genuine reason for being off work!. Your boss should not question you and your time off work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Just tell him you needed to go to the doctor for something!. If he asks further then tell him you had to see a gynocologist!.!.!.his mouth will probably drop open, and I bet he'll never ask again!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would just tell him that it was a "womanly problem"!.!.!. most men will stop in their tracks RIGHT there! If you see your doctor it wouldn't hurt to get a note to back you up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i would tell him that i had food poisoning as well!. giving too much information about your personal life isnt necessary, esp!. if its your male boss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
tell him its personal-no need to explain to him!Www@Answer-Health@Com
When you miss work, explain to your doctor why and then tell them that your boss will demand an explination and ask them for an excuse!. All your doctor has to do is give you a signed note that says something generic like: "______ was unable to attend work on the following date(s):______, and is able to return to work on this date _____" !. Hand the note to your boss and tell them you're feeling better and you're ready to return to work!. When your boss asks you what was wrong thank him for his concern, then tell him you weren't feeling well but you're better now!. If he bagers you about it don't hesitate to tell him, "No offense, but, I prefer to keep my health issues private"!. As long as you have a doctor's excuse, legally he can't harrass you about why you were gone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
