Acid Reflux/Indigestion/Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) eradication
What is Acid Reflux/Indigestion?
Acid reflux, also known as indigestion or heartburn, is a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. This can lead to a burning sensation in the chest, often referred to as heartburn. Indigestion typically involves discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen and may include symptoms like bloating, belching, and nausea.
The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a muscle that separates the esophagus from the stomach. It normally opens to allow food to enter the stomach and then closes to prevent the backflow of stomach acid into the oesophagus. When the LES doesn’t function properly, stomach acid can rise into the oesophagus, causing the symptoms associated with acid reflux.
What is Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori)?
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that infects the stomach lining and is a common cause of peptic ulcers and gastritis. It can lead to more serious conditions like stomach cancer if left untreated. The bacterium is spiral-shaped, which helps it penetrate the mucus layer of the stomach and survive in its acidic environment.
If you have a positive test for H-pylori, we can provide you with treatment, so please consult with us today (add a photo of your positive results). If you suspect you have H-pylori, you can buy a test online and if positive, we can treat you.

Chlamydia (STI)
Concerned that you might have an STI? Unsure about your next steps? We’re here to help.
What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It often doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms, making it easy to spread unknowingly. Chlamydia can affect both men and women and is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. It is very common in sexually active young adults and teenagers. The majority of STIs can be swiftly and readily treated if discovered early. If STI’s are left untreated, they might worsen and lead to dire consequences. You put yourself and others at danger by disregarding STIs and failing to get checked out each time you engage in unprotected sex.
If you already have a positive test result for chlamydia, our clinician’s can provide antibiotic treatment, please book a consultation.
For Gonorrhoea, HIV and Syphilis, you should attend your local Sexual Health clinic.
