In most cases, nothing can substitute for a real face-to-face consultation, but sometimes the information that can be acquired from this kind of consultation is not vital. Moreover, in some cases, insisting on having the patient sit in front of the doctor will only discourage the patient from tackling a problem that he or she perceives as too embarassing. This is quite likely the case with sexual problems and, to a lesser extent, contraception. For this reason this site offers one section dedicated to sexual problems and one to contraception.
Additionally, you may tell your problem and get a personal opinion by e-mail (attanasio@attanasio.com). In this case, your questions may provide the starting point for a new item in the Frequently Asked Questions' list, but their wording will be changed so that it will never be possible to identify you. In any case, your actual message will be erased from the mail server and from all mail folders..
