One in four women buy wrong medication after misdiagnosing themselves on the Internet, Daily Telegraph reported.

Women with embarrassing medical problems are misdiagnosing themselves after consulting "Dr. Google," research suggests. As a result, one in ten women has suffered unpleasant side effects.

The symptoms most likely to prompt women to diagnose themselves are problems sleeping, headaches and depression, while muscle pain, itching and fatigue regularly cause women to consult Dr. Google.

The survey of 1,000 women was conducted by Balance Activ, the women's health brand.

據(jù)英國(guó)《每日電訊報(bào)》報(bào)道，四分之一的女性借助互聯(lián)網(wǎng)給自己看病后做出錯(cuò)誤的判斷并買(mǎi)了不對(duì)癥的藥。

調(diào)查顯示，一些女性因患有難以啟齒的疾病而向“谷歌醫(yī)生”咨詢。她們往往會(huì)對(duì)自己的病情作出錯(cuò)誤的判斷。十分之一的人因此受到藥物副作用的困擾。

據(jù)悉，最易促使女性自診的癥狀有睡眠障礙、頭痛、抑郁，而肌肉疼痛、瘙癢、疲勞等常常迫使女性上網(wǎng)咨詢。

女性健康品牌Balance Activ對(duì)1000名女性進(jìn)行調(diào)查，得出以上結(jié)論。
