The 'embarrassing problems' philosophy

We recognize that the Internet is an ideal means of providing information on a range of personal health matters that some people may initially find hard to discuss. We opted for the phrase 'embarrassing problems' for the site in the spirit of straight talking and for sheer impact. We're not implying that the topics discussed on the site should be viewed as being 'embarrassing' – quite the reverse, in fact. We hope the information on our site will persuade you that your embarrassing problem is not so embarrassing after all and/or will provide some helpful information. We strongly encourage you to talk to your own doctor or pharmacist about your own health concerns – the information presented on our website is not intended to replace the face-to-face consultation that we believe to be necessary for the accurate diagnosis of a medical condition and its subsequent management.

How we are funded

embarrassingproblems.com is a service provided free of charge by Health Press Limited. We are able to provide this service thanks to revenue from advertising. If you think we helped you, please consider clicking on our advertisers' messages, and if their product helps you please let us know. Our aim is to attract advertisers who are the best match for each section – another step towards your goal to tackle it, move on.

Advertising and shopping partners

Our advertisers in no way influence the textual content of the site, which is totally independent, unbiased and based on our expert authors' experience and research.

The placement of banner adverts for products and/or websites on our site, www.embarrassingproblems.com, and links therein, in no way suggests endorsement by our authors or Health Press Limited (see also the 'Disclaimer'). Similarly, our shopping partners operate independently of www.embarrassingproblems.com and Health Press Limited, and again, our expert authors and Health Press Limited take no responsibility for the content and service provided by our shopping partners.
