Left with more than an empty bank account this New Year?

3rd January 2019 By Dr Wayne Cottrell Leave a Comment

Left with more than a empty bank account this Christmas - A guy that has a urinary or prostate problems which is really painful. Young man holds paper with an insript which says Problem on it

Empty pockets, empty house, and a hefty hangover. Have you been left with more than you bargained for this New Year?

The new year never starts the way you wanted it to. If you have had unsafe sex you may have been left with more than you expected.

STIs hit a peak around the Christmas period, due to high levels of alcohol consumption and weekly partying.

Towards the end of 2018, reports highlighted rising numbers of STIs in and around London. Adding to this crisis, many STI clinics have been shut down, causing many to delay treatments or diagnosis.

Because of these factors we are urging people to come forward and be tested this January. Even if you have no symptoms.

“If you’ve had unsafe sex, get checked.”

We are on hand to diagnose and treat any “nasties” you may have picked up over the Christmas period.

If you have any of the symptoms listed below it is incredibly important to get checked straight away, and not perform any sexual act before doing so.

  • Vaginal or penile discharge
  • Genital itching
  • Pain with intercourse
  • Pain with urination
  • Warts or growths in genital area including anal
  • Blisters or sores in the genital area or mouth

It is also important to be honest with the person you have had intercourse with, even if you feel you may have contracted it from that person. They may not show any signs of ill health and could be unaware, so try not to judge or blame. No one likes to face an STI, so the best way to deal with it is with maturity and quickly.

If you cannot make it to your local clinic, why not order a online test kit!.
We provide online testing, making it easy and convenient for you to be tested.

Dr Cottrell is nothing short of amazing. I started seeing him during the worst moments of my life, desperate for answers as to what was going on with me. I badgered him with my new found health anxiety and not once did he ever make me feel like I was crazy, instead he would reassure me and answer me honestly and calmly, and where necessary he’d organise the appropriate tests efficiently in order for my anxiety to not get worse with a wait. I cannot thank him enough. Me and my children will never go to anyone else.
