£35.00 Read moreSuffering from Thrush? Let us help you.
What is Thrush (Yeast infection)?
Thrush, also known as candidiasis, is a fungal infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida yeast, most commonly Candida albicans. Thrush can occur in various parts of the body, including the mouth (oral thrush), vagina (vaginal thrush), and other moist, warm areas of the skin.
Although it is uncomfortable, there are several ways to manage it, and there is little risk to your long-term health. Some individuals do, however have persisting symptoms that might be more challenging to cure. Your symptoms can be effectively treated by our clinicians, who can also assist you in determining the origin of your thrush.
Given that the vagina typically contains low concentrations of candida albicans, thrush is considered to affect many women at some point in their life. Once a woman has had her first period and after going through the menopause, the likelihood of developing thrush decreases. Men are also susceptible, with symptoms typically centered around the penis head.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a form of vaginal inflammation due to an overflow of the normal bacterial flora in the vagina, which throws off the delicate balance. This is not an sexually transmitted infection (STI), but can increase your risk of getting an STI e.g. Chlamydia. Although it can afflict women of any age, bacterial vaginosis is more common in women in their reproductive years. The exact cause is unknown, however certain behaviours like unprotected intercourse or regular douching can increase your risk.

Chlamydia (STI)
£19.00 Read moreConcerned 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.
