Prostate Checks

​

Checking your prostate health usually involves taking a history and looking for specific symptoms suggesting issues with the prostate gland such as decrease in force of flow of urine, an examination of the prostate gland which is done by a rectal exam and a blood test for prostate cancer if necessary after discussion.

We are happy to discuss any issues relating to your sexual health which may include erectile dysfunction, sexual transmitted diseases, contraception including vasectomy.

 

Erectile Dysfunction

​

Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. Occasional inability to achieve an erection is common but if it becomes a recurring problem it is worthwhile discussing it with your doctor.

​

There are many causes both physical and psychological and there are good treatments available depending on the cause.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD)

​

If you have symptoms such as penile discharge, pain passing urine or skin lesions on your penis such as spots, bumps, blisters or ulcers and consider that this may be related to a recent sexual contact it is important to check this out.

 

We offer full STD screening which involves history taking, examination, urine tests, blood tests and penile swabs. Even if you have no obvious symptoms or signs of an STD but you are concerned that you may be at risk we are happy to carry out a screening.
