I'm a personal fan of anonymity when it comes to health care.
If I had my way, my doctor wouldn't know my name, what my face looks like or where I live. It would free me up to ask some potentially embarrassing (and probably kind-of dumb) questions.
When it comes to asking embarrassing questions, I think most people would adopt that same stance.
But since none of that happens in real life, I'm going to offer readers a one-in-a-million chance to ask those questions - anonymously, of course.
The plan is for me to compile all those anonymous embarrassing questions - for women, men, tweens, teens... just about everybody. Then I'll take them to area physicians and get them answered for the Health page.
To do that, though, I need your questions! They can be about anatomy, sex, noises, drooping, farts, discharges... just about anything! If you're too embarrassed to ask your doctor in person, I'll ask for you.
So send them in...

Emily- this post made me laugh. I only wish that I wasn't the one who often has to answer these embarrassing questions. You never who will ask what and when they will ask it when you work in health care. This includes friends, family, and total stangers! My best girls friends just ask me all the questions they don't want to ask their doctors! It's amazing what kind of things people worry about that are perfectly normal! Let me know how you "experiment" turns out, I interested to know what people ask!
A fine idea, however your blog does not allow anonymous comments.
Sorry about that. I have it set up now so comments can be posted anonymously.
