A thorough medical assessment is crucial to determine the cause of ED and select the safest treatment plan.
Oral Medications:
PDE5 inhibitors are medications used for erectile dysfunction treatment. PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) is an enzyme that breaks down a substance in the body that helps maintain erections. PDE5 inhibitors block this enzyme, allowing better blood flow to support erectile function.
Common PDE5 inhibitors include:
These medications are provided after medical assessment to determine suitability. Dosage and usage instructions provided by the doctor during consultation.
ED treatment may involve management of:
Medication adjustments may be considered if current medications contribute to erectile dysfunction.
Important Note: Erectile dysfunction may indicate cardiovascular disease.
Emergency Contraceptives are intended for emergency use only and not as a regular form of contraception. They should be used as soon as possible after unprotected sexual intercourse to reduce the chance of pregnancy.
The primary mechanism is to delay or inhibit ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). If there’s no egg to fertilize, pregnancy cannot occur.
Important Clarifications:
We provide vaccinations for children, adults, and travelers.
Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs), commonly referred to as birth control pills, are a category of pharmaceutical agents that utilize synthetic hormones to prevent pregnancy. Their primary mechanisms of action include the suppression of ovulation, the thickening of cervical mucus to impede sperm motility and penetration, and the alteration of the endometrial lining to inhibit implantation.
Administered on a daily schedule, oral contraceptives provide continuous, ongoing pregnancy prevention. This distinguishes them from emergency contraception (the “morning-after pill”), which is intended for postcoital use following unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure to reduce the risk of conception. Similarly, menstrual delay pills serve a distinct purpose; they are formulated to temporarily postpone menstruation for personal or scheduling convenience, rather than for contraceptive effect.
Here’s what you need to know about common infections, the signs to watch for, and getting support.
Gonorrhea Is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria. It spreads through sexual contact and can infect the genitals, rectum, throat, and sometimes the eyes.
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It’s caused by bacteria and spreads easily through sexual contact. Many people who have it don’t show any symptoms, which is why it’s sometimes called a “silent” infection.
Symptoms:
Syphilis is a serious sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria called Treponema pallidum. It develops in stages and can cause severe health problems if left untreated.
Symptoms:
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system—specifically the white blood cells that help fight infections. If left untreated, HIV can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), the most advanced stage of the infection.
Symptoms:
Some individuals may not have symptoms.

Symptoms:
Hepatitis B testing involves simple blood tests that check whether you have been infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). These viruses can cause liver inflammation, scarring (cirrhosis), and even liver cancer if left untreated.
Symptoms:
Many STDs are asymptomatic, regular testing is necessary to prevent long-term health complications. Even if you have no symptoms, you should get STD screening based on your sexual activity and risk factors, typically annually for most sexually active individuals, or every 3 to 6 months if you have higher-risk behaviors.
