What is Hayfever/allergic Rhinitis?
Hayfever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is an allergy to pollen, which is produced by trees, plants, and flowers. According to Allergy UK, hayfever affects 10-30% of all adults and up to 40% of children, making it a prevalent ailment. The symptoms are normally at its worst during the spring and summer, when pollen counts are at their peak, but it affects some people all year. When you’re exposed to pollen, your immune system incorrectly interprets it as a threat. Antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to this perceived threat. These tell your eyes, nose, mouth, and throat to make inflammatory chemicals, which is what produces the symptoms.

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.

What is Hair loss?
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is the condition in which a person experiences reduction in hair on the scalp or other parts of the body. Hair loss can be temporary or permanent, and it can affect just the scalp or the entire body. It can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors.
Hair loss can be upsetting and affect your self-confidence, but did you know it was normal to loose hair and an average person can loose up to 100 hairs per day? Your hair goes through a life cycle of growth, rest and shedding phases; as you get older, hair falls out quicker than regrowth and this is what results.
