Ask a board-certified American physician your most intimate question.

What this is.
Despite searching through our guides as well as other medical websites, some of you may still have been unable to get an answer to your specific health-related question or concerns. We have developed this part of afraidtoask.com to better serve your unique and personal questions. If you have not already done so, we suggest you first search for the answer to your question in our extensive database of information and photographs. If you still can't find the information you need, ask our experts.

What this is not.
THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL CONSULTATION AND WE DO NOT PRESCRIBE ANY MEDICATIONS. Since it is essentially impossible to adequately diagnose and treat medical conditions without a face to face encounter and hands-on examination by a qualified health professional, afraidtoask.com does not offer medical advice or treatment. We will earnestly listen to your question and try to find an appropriate answer, but our comments are just our doctor's opinion and should not be considered medical advice. We strongly suggest you speak with your own physician about your issues and concerns. By signing up, you are agreeing to our medical disclaimer and our user agreement; be sure to review these items before continuing.

Why does it cost money?
Since keeping this site online and answering the many questions we receive each day takes quite a bit of time and effort, we are forced to charge for this part of afraidtoask.com. Your $35 fee helps keep our site running and a physician available for your question. This is a one time charge and is discretely billed to your credit card. You will not be rebilled, and you don't have to "cancel" any service! Please note that this fee covers one submission only. So, for a modest fee, you can have your most personal and embarrassing question reviewed and a personal response written by a board certified physician. Most physician responses occur within 24 hours, and often even sooner than that. On rare occasions, it may take more than a day for the doctor to find the answer and respond. If you have not received a response to a question within 72 hours, please let us know.
