WOMEN AND MENS HEALTH ISSUES

Women’s Health

Women are choosing private medical care for a wide range of problems that are not life threatening but can prove chronic, for reasons of convenience and speed in receiving treatment. These include varicose veins, breast screening, a variety of menstrual problems, alopecia, osteoporosis and incontinence. 

They may also prefer a private clinic in matters of unwanted pregnancy, sexual infections, contraception or sterilisation. 

There are a number of centres around the UK that offer private services specific to women’s health.

This allows women the chance to be seen at times more convenient to them in their busy lives.

Men’s Health

Many male health conditions happen gradually and are easy to ignore in the busy everyday life. 

A number of private clinics in the UK now specialise in men’s health procedures offering a professional and caring environment where tests can be carried out. Conditions covered include prostate problems, testicular cancer, vasectomy or reversals, fertility, hernias, impotence or circumcision. 

There are also private sexual health clinics specialising in male problems including erectile dysfunction and sexually transmitted diseases. 

Though it’s possible to obtain GP referrals, many clinics accept self-referral, avoiding any embarrassment that may arise from accessing more local services.
