​

Sexual health concerns we manage:

At our clinic in Salthill, Galway, we can investigate and manage a variety of symptoms, such as:
​

• Vaginal Discharge: Investigation and treatment of abnormal discharge. This may include taking swabs to test for thrush and bacterial vaginosis.

​

• Vulvovaginal itch: We can assess for causes such as thrush, BV, vaginal atrophy and lichen sclerosis.
   

• Painful Intercourse: Help with identifying the underlying mechanism for pain and providing solutions to improve the discomfort.​

​

• Genitourinary syndrome of menopause: This can include a range of symptoms caused by declining oestrogen levels in the vulval and vaginal tissues and the urinary tract: vaginal dryness, discomfort, itch, recurrent urinary tract infections, cystitis. It is common post-menopause, but similar symptoms can be experinced when a woman is breast-feeding.

​

• Vaginismus: We can diagnose this condition which can make sexual intercourse painful, or even not possible. We usually advise pelvic physiotherapy to manage the symptoms in the first instance.

​

• STI Testing: Offering confidential testing and advice if you suspect you have an STI or would like routine screening without symptoms.
   

• Cervical Screening (Smear Test): Conducted as part of the Cervical Check programme. Please ensure you are due for a smear test before booking. If you have not already received a letter from Cervical Check, you can check to see when your next screening is due here. You may also use that link to register with for a smear test.

​At times it may be necessary to conduct an internal examination as part of your consultation. If it makes you feel more comfortable, patients are welcome to bring a chaperone such as a friend or family member to be present during intimate exams. 

 

Additionally, from time-to-time patients may be required to have blood tests; be referred for further investigations such as a pelvic ultrasound; or be referred to specialists such as gynaecologists, endocrinologists, or pelvic health physiotherapists. 

 

If this is needed, your doctor will fully explain the procedure and reasons during the course of your consultation.
