HPV Vaccination
Protecting Against Human Papillomavirus: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of viruses that can lead to various health problems, including genital warts and certain types of cancers (throat, vaginal and anal). Getting vaccinated against HPV is a proactive measure every individual can take to protect themselves.

Cryotherapy
Effective Treatment for Skin Lesions: Cryotherapy involves freezing and removing abnormal skin lesions, including warts and certain other non-cancerous growths. It’s a quick and often painless procedure that can be crucial in preventing the spread or worsening of a condition.
At Dr. Wayne Cottrell’s & Co, cryotherapy is administered precisely and carefully. Ensuring the well-being and comfort of the patient is paramount. This treatment reflects the clinic’s dedication to providing a comprehensive range of services, addressing internal and external manifestations of sexual health concerns.
Anal Smears
Preventing Anal Cancer: Anal smears involve collecting cells from the anal canal to test for changes that might indicate a risk of anal cancer. It’s a critical screening for individuals at higher risk, such as those with HPV or HIV.
The process is handled delicately and professionally at Dr. Wayne Cottrell’s & Co. Recognising the importance of early detection in preventing severe health problems, the clinic is committed to providing this essential service in a supportive and respectful environment.
HIV PEP & PrEP
Proactive Measures Against HIV: HIV remains a significant concern for many, and taking preventive steps can make all the difference. PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a treatment course started after potential exposure to HIV, reducing the risk of infection.
On the other hand, PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medication taken to prevent HIV in individuals who are at high risk. At Dr. Wayne Cottrell’s & Co, patients can discuss their concerns openly and access both PEP & PrEP under expert guidance. This proactive approach underscores the clinic’s dedication to treating and actively preventing severe health conditions.
