If shyness weren’t a barrier, what would you ask a healthcare professional? What health-related topics intrigue you but feel too awkward to search online? In our new feature, Burning Questions, we welcome your most unconventional inquiries. Don’t hold back—share them with us.
We’ll bring your questions to medical experts and specialists, gather their insights, and share the answers with you. So far, we’ve received intriguing questions about the purpose of hemorrhoids and menstrual-related digestive issues, the impact of large breasts on BMI calculations, and the implications of penile cancer. While embarrassing topics are welcome, any unusual or thought-provoking question is encouraged.
Feel free to post your questions in the comments section or email me directly at [email protected] (no judgment, I assure you). For complete anonymity, you can also submit your questions via bethskw.sarahah.com. What health mysteries are you eager to unravel?
Update 11/3/2017, 11pm: The questions are flooding in—thank you! Due to the overwhelming volume, it’s becoming challenging to review all comments. To ensure your question is seen, please send it via email or Sarahah.
Update 11/4: Just a reminder, I’m not a medical professional! While I appreciate your questions and may address them eventually, I can’t guarantee a quick response. If you’re experiencing severe pain, persistent issues, or concerns about conditions like cancer, please consult a qualified healthcare provider immediately.
