Women find answers on the web with their health questions

Whenever I'm in doubt and I felt something uneasy with my body, there's only one thing that comes in mind. And that's the internet. Yes, its just a click on the web and all the needed information comes out in just a second. A US study reveals women are more likely than men to use the internet to find answers to health questions, for themselves and others, and to join online support groups concerned with medical problems. Men are more likely to search the web for information on sensitive health topics they may find it hard to talk about. Many websites offer trustworthy health advice and information. Many researchers say healthcare is one of the few subject areas that entices more women than men to log on.
