Embarrassment Leads To Taking Health Risks

A shocking 1 in 10 people say they have had unprotected sex because they were too embarrassed to buy condoms from a pharmacy. This disconcerting statistic is the finding of latest research by new online pharmacy http://www.mastersdirect.com, revealing people"s opinions about their most embarrassing health problems. Furthermore almost 50% of the population has suffered a health problem like thrush in silence rather than face the embarrassment of seeking medical attention and a quarter has simply walked out of a pharmacy because they were too embarrassed to ask for a particular health product. The results revealed that the high street pharmacy can be a "humiliation hot-spot" for people confronting their embarrassing health issues. The most toe-curlingly embarrassing products were voted to be: condoms, incontinence pants and personal lubricants. Thrush creams, tampons and pregnancy tests also made people feel conspicuous. In an attempt to hide their embarrassment over their purchases, well over a third had even bought something they didn"t need as a "cover-up". The results come as global healthcare company Masters Pharmaceuticals launch a new online pharmacy, fully registered by the RSPGB - and regulated by the NHS .

Customers who would like to privately discuss their health issue with a professional can speak to a registered pharmacist by telephone or on email. Media doctor Dr Dawn Harper, who welcomes the launch of the website, said, "Pharmacies have come a long way in offering health care to the public but this research highlights how some people still feel awkward about openly discussing their private health issues. The big worry is that embarrassment could put their health at risk. I have always advised against randomly buying medication on the internet but with a professional online pharmacy like http://www.mastersdirect.com patients can feel reassured that they are ordering genuine medication directly to their door from the privacy and convenience of home" Masters Direct
