    Self Diagnosis is the process by which one person try to diagnose his illness or medical condition using medical books or searching in medical websites.

    Self Diagnosis can be very dangerous in many situations as the possibility of wrong diagnosis is very high which will result in choosing wrong treatment.

    Self Diagnosis can be accepted in rare cases like using non prescription medications.

    Yes, self-diagnosis can be very dangerous and still most people do it. It is very common is case of sexual health issues like impotence. Both men and women feel ashamed of thee problems and try to diagnose them on their own. People need to understand that trying to self-diagnose can do more harm than good. If you desire good health, get rid of the embarrassment and go see a doctor.

    Self-diagnoses will only aggravate the condition and make it much harder to heal. Consulting a doctor is always recommended to be on the safer side and maintain good health.
