Sex was a taboo some time ago, but now there is a new openness and acceptability about it in the society. In this time, pre-marital sex and casual sex is on the rise and so is the confusion about one's sexuality. This trend has lead to a rise in series of problems and diseases like teenage pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases or STDs, and the biggest of all HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome.
Youth are often interested in sex related activities, and with easy, but not fully correct information about sex on the internet and television; they end up experimenting, which can lead to disastrous results. Due to this, many times people find themselves in awkward and embarrassing situations, and are hesitant to approach a doctor or a clinic. Keeping this in mind many private clinics have come up with an interesting and convenient concept of 'Same day Consultation and test' facilities.
You can anytime walk into one such
private clinic and get a same day appointment. These clinics treat their walk-in patients as soon as possible without making them wait for much time. There is no need to make an appointment; you can walk-in anytime between the working hours of the clinic. The best part of this service is that anonymity is maintained here.
There no such requisite of registering or giving your authentic personal details at the counter. This service is best suited for those who are suffering from sexual diseases and do not want to reveal their true identity. Moreover, the results of your tests can be obtained even on the telephone if you do not want to come personally to collect them.
You get to meet a private doctor who can even have a talk with your general physician if needed and approved by you. Thus, these walk in clinics save your time and save you from the much-dreaded embarrassment by keeping your visit undercover and your identity anonymous.
Though these clinics provide all sorts of services and facilities like any normal clinic does, however they mostly specialise in detecting and treating sexual diseases. They have a good, experienced and skilled staff comprising of male and female private doctors, specialists, nurses and chaperones.
The concept of these fast and effective clinics was conceptualised keeping in mind the lack of time and the hesitation, embarrassment, and trauma attached with sex related diseases. Thus they specialise in STDs, HIV testing and treatment, IVF treatments and Gynaecology. Apart from these general treatments and tests like cancer screening, diabetes testing and treatments, etc are also available.
There is special GUM clinic (Genito-Urinary Medicine) available, which specialise in sexual health. Many of these clinics are run and operated by N.H.S and you can avail free and confidential consultation and advice on any STDs or Venereal diseases. They cover all the aspects of sexual health and provide the following tests: HIV test and treatment, STD test like Gonorrhoea test and Chlamydia test, HPV test, cervical smears, etc.
