Vaginal & vulval health
Thrush, BV or intimate discomfort? Get discreet, expert care without the waiting room.
What we treat
Who it's for & what we treat
Vaginal and vulval concerns are incredibly common, but many women put up with them for months before seeking help. Our GPs provide discreet, compassionate assessment and treatment for thrush, bacterial vaginosis, recurrent infections and vulval skin conditions — all from the privacy of home.
- Assessment of vaginal symptoms
- Pathology (swabs) when needed
- Antifungal & antibiotic treatment
- Recurrent thrush management plans
- Vulval skin condition assessment
- STI screening where appropriate
The consult
What happens in the consult
We talk through your symptoms, history and what's troubling you — privately and without judgement.
Your GP may arrange a swab or pathology test at a collection centre near you to confirm the cause.
Treatment is arranged promptly — a script sent to your pharmacy, plus a plan to prevent recurrence.
