Enjoy a healthy sexual life
A successful sex life should be safe for both parties. Find out what risky contact means, what its consequences may be and how to deal with them.
What is sexual health?
Sexual health can be looked at from many perspectives. First of all, the psychological one, in which sexual health is the complement of a satisfying emotional life. Secondly, from the biological andrological (men) and gynecological-endocrine (women) perspective, which is associated with sexual performance and fertility and has a significant impact on libido. Thirdly, from the perspective of infection, i.e. sex life free from sexually transmitted diseases (STI/STD). Taking care of all the elements of sexual health allows us to be fully satisfied with this aspect of our lives.
In our clinic we offer professional advice on the prevention, monitoring and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. Take advantage of our experts' knowledge!

Act responsibly
The use of a condom provides the fullest but not complete protection against all sexually transmitted diseases. Intact and properly used, it fully protects against HIV, HCV, HBV infection.
Bacterial infections can be transmitted on the hands during caresses. Oral sex, during which the condom is only used occasionally (although indicated), also carries risks.

Treatment of infections
Most sexually transmitted bacterial infections can be treated effectively with appropriately coordinated antibiotic therapy. However, more and more often we hear about bacteria that are resistant to treatment.
Vaccines against HPV - human papillomavirus, HVB - hepatitis B virus, HAV - hepatitis A virus are available on the market. We encourage to undergo prophylactic vaccinations, which protect against unpleasant and dangerous ailments.
