Why you should visit a travel clinic before your next trip?

A visit to a travel medicine clinic should be an important part of every traveller’s preparation. Just like everything else that goes into planning a trip abroad, a consultation with a travel medicine consultant will ensure your plans go smoothly. Health and safety risks are much different in other countries than they are here in the UK so you’ll need to be prepared so that your trip is one you remember for all the right reasons.

Travel Vaccinations

Vaccinations will help protect you and your loved ones from diseases that can be found abroad. Many of these diseases have the potential of causing serious or even fatal complications. Depending on where you are travelling, you may not be able to receive adequate medical care right away.

Most of these diseases aren’t as big of a worry here in the UK, like malaria, but can be prevalent in several popular holiday destinations. Travel vaccinations aren’t generally covered through the NHS so you will need to obtain your vaccinations privately through somewhere like a travel clinic.

If you’re unsure which vaccines you may need, the professionals at the travel clinic can give you advice and recommendations.

Medicine Advice

In addition to vaccination recommendations, you may also be given advice on medication to take with you on your travels. From anti-nausea medications to tablets to help with stomach upset, you’ll be able to go abroad feeling prepared.

Receive Education on Food and Water Safety

Even if you’re in a highly developed area, there could be risks to your health from the local food and waer. A travel medicine specialist will be able to give you tips on safe food and water practices to prevent you from getting sick. This could include the use of bottled water, carrying hand sanitizer with you, and avoiding certain types of foods.

Understand the Safety Requirements of Your Destination

The experts at a travel clinic know that everyone is different and no trip is the same. That’s why they will give you personalised advice and recommendations that will fit your personal circumstances. These experts will also give you specific advice on how to travel safely at your destination. After discussing your plans, general health, and other requirements, you will leave your consultation knowing you’re prepared.

How Covid-19 affects Women’s Sexual Health?

Image
The novel Corona virus that has shook the world in a very short span of time, does not discriminate between the human beings it affects. However, gender seems to be playing a role in how it multiplies and kills a man and woman. Covid-19 virus affects men and women differently. It has been seen that the virus affects both men and women equally but the responses after entering the two different bodies is quite different. In men, the virus is seen to have more devastating effects than in women. The difference is due to the hormone – Oestrogen or Estrogens produced in women. The hormone makes it difficult for the virus to replicate in the cell. Conversely, Corona virus has affected women differently as the societal norms towards women are discriminatory and deliberately harmful towards women. Being stuck in a lockdown imposed due to the virus makes her more at risk of being impregnated or subjugated to other sorts of violence. Healthy sex practices have seen a down low due to the lack of...
