Sexual health encompasses various aspects, including the psychology of relationships, personal comfort with one’s own gender and others, issues related to libido, discomfort during sex, erectile dysfunction, post-childbirth changes, unwanted sexual encounters, and concerns about sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
STIs are common, but the good news is most of them are entirely curable. Since some infections can be asymptomatic, it’s important to gather a detailed history of contacts and symptoms. While this discussion may initially be challenging, please be assured doctors consulting at Morningside General Practice Clinic approach it sensitively and consider it a routine part of the assessment process. Routine screenings are often recommended at the beginning of new relationships or following an event which may have put you at risk. These screenings are typically immensely reassuring for patients.
