The answer

There is no harm in disclosing the reason for frequent leaves to the manager, provided that Islamic guidelines concerning speech, , gaze, and avoiding seclusion and anything that raises suspicion are adhered to. The matter can also be written down and submitted in writing, along with attached copies of leave requests and hospital appointments.
