Overview

The Details

In your search for information, please also be asking yourself, what is the source of the information I'm reading?

The most common form is anecdotal information. This is information about a topic that comes from someone's personal experience or passed on from one person to another. Anecdotal information is one person's story or experience.

The most reliable form is evidence-based information. This is information based in good research and increasingly Australia medical care providers are using 'evidence-based medicine' (EBM) to guide their actions.

Information on this website comes from a mixture of anecdotal and evidence-based sources.

Your search for information might have started with the internet. The internet provides access to evidence-based information as well as anedotal and you need to be wary about much of the information online (including our website!).

Follow up the links on this website and others. Explore your options, including social and psychological. Reversible options are just as important to research as the permanent options like medical interventions. Keep your mind open as to where you might find your answers for your personal situation.
