Modern people turn to the Internet first to deal with a health concern
Three months into her pregnancy, Lily Zheng, who lives in Beijing, found the Internet a good source of information when it came to clearing her head of minor health worries.
"I check the Internet when I am worrying about certain symptoms, before I go to the hospital," she said.
Like Zheng, many people, particularly young people, often turn to the Internet to get information first if they believe something is wrong with their body.
The Internet is very resourceful in this respect. For example, type "cervical spine aching" into a search engine and plenty of websites will appear with relevant information and advice.
Not all see this as positive though, since the advice might not come from qualified doctors and could result in a wrong diagnosis.
