What is the reason when people ask about medication/illness solution?

I saw there are lots of question(not necessarily on this site but also on other similar sites) asking about how they handle their currently specific illness despite they know that doctor is the best solution. Many responders suggest doctor is the best idea and the OP should have already known that there would a lot of similar answer in this particular question. We’re not talking about minor diseases which advice are needed and can be safely recommended,we’re talking about major illness like cancer,or other contagious diseases.

So,do you think that most people who made this question just don’t want to go to doctor? Want another cheaper self-medication idea? Need suggestion?(which I don’t believe)
