People have been using the internet to learn more about their health since its inception. And why not? Questions about our well-being come up all day long — Why did that hurt? Is it OK to have this many headaches in a week? How come I'm tired all the time? — and Google is right there at our fingertips. But of course, you can't trust everything you read online. And even if you could, the sheer volume of info you can access on the internet can be overwhelming rather than useful.

POPSUGAR's Condition Center [1] aims to be an alternate place to find information about your health questions — a simpler place. This hub brings together straightforward explainers of common health conditions. We're launching with 25 topics that affect our readers the most, and we'll be growing the Condition Center from there. To inform our content, we relied on sources we knew would give trustworthy and up-to-date recommendations. This included our advisory board of four medical experts, in addition to well-respected and established medical professionals, academic journals, national health organizations, and public health agencies.

Most of the topics we cover are multifaceted, and you should always consult your doctor regarding your health and before starting any specific treatments. But we hope the Condition Center becomes a useful starting point — a place you can turn to for helpful insight into your most pressing health concerns.
