Embarrassing Conditions

Are you suffering from a medical condition which you find embarrassing to talk about? Medical Specialists offers treatments to help alleviate medical conditions which are difficult to talk about or too embarrassing for some people. We offer discreet online consultations/products for bad breath, acne, thrush, piles, genital herpes, cystitis, urinary tract infections and STD's.

Thrush

Thrush is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. The most common symptoms in women are itching, soreness and redness around the vagina, vulva and anus, unusual vaginal discharge which may be thin, thick and look like cottage cheese or pain on passing urine or during sex.

Thrush infections are relatively common in men as well. The most common symptoms in men are irritation, burning or itching under the foreskin or at the tip of the penis, redness or red patches on the penis or under the foreskin, a thick or thin discharge, like cottage cheese, under the foreskin or discomfort when passing urine.

All these symptons can be embarrassing while some people don't have any signs or symptoms, and may not be aware they have thrush. Sometimes thrush symptoms will be noticed during a vaginal examination for a cervical screening test.

Cystitis and Urinary Tract Infections

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder and although it's usually caused by an infection in the bladder, it can also be caused by irritation or from friction during sex.

The most common symptoms are an urgent need to urinate often and pain or stinging when you urinate. If left untreated, bladder infections can cause kidney infection too.

Cystitis is more common in women because women have a short urethra. The urethra's opening is also located very close to the anus, which makes it easy for bacteria from the anus to reach the bladder and cause an infection.

The symptoms can be very embarrassing and between 20 to 40 per cent of women get cystitis and almost all women will have cystitis at least once throughout their lifetime.

Thrush Treatment

Cystitis Treatment

Mild cystitis usually clears up within 4-9 days while more severe cystitis may need treatment with antibiotics.

Bacterial Vaginosis / Urogenital Infection Treatment

If you have tested positive for Bacterial Vaginosis (also known as Gardnerella Vaginalis) or Trichomonas Vaginalis then we will consider prescribing Metronidazole for male or female patients who have this embarrassing condition.

Fungal Nail Infection

Fungal infection of nails is common and according to a study, it affects around three in every 100 people in the UK. It usually affects adults, especially men, and becomes more common as you get older. Fungal nail infection causes thickened and unsightly nails which sometimes become painful. Fungal nail infection is more common in toenails than fingernails and can involve all or part of the nail.

Fungal Nail Infection & Treatments

Fungal nail infections can be treated and usually cured, but some types of treatment can take some time to work. The main treatment options are either antifungal tablets or antifungal nail paint.

Pubic Lice and Scabies

Genital Warts

Anal Fissure

An anal fissure is a tear in the lining of the back passage (anus). It is often caused by passing hard stools when you are constipated. The tear is painful and often bleeds when you pass a stool.

Bladder (Pee) Problems

Are you suffering from annoying pee problems? If you get up several times in the night to go for a pee or your flow stops and then starts again, you might be suffering from the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate.

Travellers' Diarrhoea

Travellers' Diarrhoea is a condition characterised by a marked increase in the frequency of unformed bowel movements and is commonly accompanied by abdominal cramps, urgency, nausea, bloating, vomiting, fever, and malaise. Almost a half of the European travellers spending two or more weeks in developing parts of the world get travellers' diarrhoea. We have tablets for Travellers' Diarrhoea.

 

 

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK, affecting both men and women. We offer Chlamydia test kit and tablets.

 

 

 

Genital Herpes

Genital herpes is an embarrassing condition which most people find difficult to discuss with their own doctor. It is an infection of the genitals (penis in men, vulva and vagina in women) and surrounding area of skin. Herpes is caused by the simplex virus (HSV) type 1 or type 2. We offer tablets and creams for Genital Herpes. Please Click here for further information and prices.

 

 

Male Impotence

Erectile Dysfunction (ED), also known as male impotence is a very common condition affecting about 4 in 10 men over 40. Erection problems may have considerable effects on a man's self esteem and may create stress that can damage his health and relationship with his partner. Erectile Dysfunction therapy is very effective and the three prescribed medications are Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

 

Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common and frustrating sexual problems that a man can suffer from, and is something they find difficult to discuss with their own doctor. Men with this problem climax (come) before penetration or in less than two minutes after penetration. Ejaculating too soon is embarrassing and unsatisfying for both partners. We have tablets and sprays for premature ejaculation.

Bad Breath

Bad breath (halitosis) is a very common problem and affects 1 in 4 people on a regular basis. This is a very embarrassing condition and is due to bacteria breaking down particles of food in the mouth, releasing unpleasant smelling gas.Persistent bad breath can also be a sign of gum disease.

Bad breath can also occur because of smoking, drinking a lot of alcohol or eating strongly flavoured foods, such as garlic and onions.
