Sexual health consultation

Talk in confidence about a change you've noticed.

These changes are often linked to blood flow. So your practitioner asks about blood pressure, blood sugar and medicines.

Possible outcomes

What happens after your appointment?

There are six possible outcomes. Each one is normal. Some appointments end with advice to try at home. Others lead to a blood test.

  • General advice and guidance
  • Pathology or further investigation
  • Sexual health clinic referral
  • Scheduled monitoring and review
  • Treatment, if deemed medically appropriate
  • No treatment

Your practitioner explains which one fits you and why.
