Book 8 in a comprehensive health series by this popular media doctor
Many conditions affect our sexual and reproductive health, and unfortunately both men and women are often too embarrassed to consult their doctor about them. Psychological and emotional issues, some medications, and hormonal changes can also affect your sexual health. This book provides a frank and sympathetic guide to the anatomy of the reproductive system. It covers embarrassing problems such as genital infections and STIs (sexually transmitted diseases) and explains when and why you should consult a sexual health clinic. It explains genito-urinary (GU) services, the relevant tests, and what happens if further testing is needed eg for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis.
