Sexual Health

At St Andrews Health we plan for lasting wellness

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are very common; in 2008 70,000 cases were reported in Australia, as many go undetected and untreated, the true number will be very much higher.

Unfortunately, many STIs can be asymptomatic and when left untreated can cause serious health problems. However, if treated early, these serious outcomes can usually be avoided.

General Practitioners at St Andrews Health are comfortable discussing concerns of sexual health and agree that sexual health encompasses much more than testing for transmissible infections including concerns with libido, difficulty with orgasm/climax, painful intercourse, inability to achieve penetration, vaginal dryness, vaginal discharge, and anything else that might be affecting sexuality or intimacy.

Common symptoms of STIs, when present, include:

It is sensible to have regular sexual health check-ups once you start having sex and when you change sexual partners. You and your partner should both get tested before you stop using condoms. Having a test is simple, quick, and painless.

Diagnosis is often as simple as a urine test, treatment a couple of tablets.

All consultations at St Andrews Health are completely confidential – this means we will not disclose anything discussed at your consultation or even the fact that you had an appointment with us, to anyone without your permission.
