Conditions Treated

Following a sexual health review at Prema Health, several conditions related to sexual and reproductive health may be identified and effectively managed.

Early detection of STIs (sexually transmitted infections) such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HPV (Human Papillomavirus), or genital herpes is crucial for prompt treatment and prevention of complications.

You can also discuss and access contraception options that suit your lifestyle and reproductive goals, including birth control pills, patches, hormonal implants, or non-hormonal methods like condoms or intrauterine devices (IUDs).

Irregular periods, heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), or painful periods (dysmenorrhea) can also be evaluated, discussing treatment options, or recommending further investigations to identify underlying causes like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Persistent pelvic pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) or other activities can be addressed during the review which may require physical therapy, medication, or referral to a specialist for further evaluation and management.

Concerns related to sexual desire, arousal, or orgasm difficulties can be discussed openly, helping to address these issues and improve sexual satisfaction.

Management strategies for fertility concerns, preconception planning, or menopausal symptoms can be discussed, which may involve optimising reproductive health, addressing hormonal imbalances, or providing guidance on fertility preservation options.

At Prema Health, our holistic approach to sexual health reviews ensures that each woman receives personalised care, empowering them to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive well-being. Regular reviews promote early detection, effective treatment, and ongoing support to maintain optimal health throughout all stages of life.
