Book a consultation if a sexual problem has lasted more than a few weeks, is causing distress or affecting your relationship, or if you notice pain, bleeding, discharge, lumps or sudden changes.

Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low libido, performance anxiety, vaginismus, painful intercourse, sexually transmitted infections and hormonal imbalance.
